1. First, let's read the story to understand the context. The story is about Sharid and his best friend Sally who went to Scotland for their summer holiday. One day, they decided to go for a swim in the sea.
2. The story continues with Sally going back to the beach while Sharid was swimming alone. Suddenly, he sees something big and dark in the water, which scares him a lot. He quickly swims back to the beach.
3. At this point, we need to choose the correct sentence for gap number 3. Let's read the options carefully.
- Option a: So now I'm not scared of basking sharks.
- Option b: It's OK. It's a basking shark.
- Option c: The water wasn't cold and we stayed in the sea for a long time.
- Option d: I went with Sally.
Based on the story, where the man on the beach explains that basking sharks are not dangerous to people, Sharid's fear is unlikely to remain. So, the correct sentence for gap number 3 is option a: So now I'm not scared of basking sharks.
4. Moving on to gap number 4, let's analyze the remaining options.
- Option b: It's OK. It's a basking shark.
- Option c: The water wasn't cold and we stayed in the sea for a long time.
- Option d: I went with Sally.
Since Sharid has already realized that the dark object in the water was a basking shark, the correct sentence for gap number 4 is option b: It's OK. It's a basking shark.
5. Finally, for gap number 5, we have the following options:
- Option a: So now I'm not scared of basking sharks.
- Option c: The water wasn't cold and we stayed in the sea for a long time.
- Option d: I went with Sally.
None of these options seem to be a logical conclusion based on the story. However, the sentence "Next year we're going to Scotland on holiday again." indicates future plans related to Scotland. Therefore, the correct sentence for gap number 5 is option d: Next year we're going to Scotland on holiday again.
In summary, the correct sentences for each gap are:
Gap 3: a) So now I'm not scared of basking sharks.
Gap 4: b) It's OK. It's a basking shark.
Gap 5: d) Next year we're going to Scotland on holiday again.
