Two years ago, they were on a boat a few kilometres from the beach. Thomas asked Inger to marry him and he gave her a gold ring. He wanted to put the ring on Inger's finger, but he dropped it and it fell into the sea. They were sure the ring was lost forever. That is, until last week, when Mr Carlsson visited them. He has a fish shop and he found the ring in a large fish which he was cutting up for one of his customers. The fish thought the ring was something to eat! Mr Carlsson knew that the ring belonged to Thomas and Inger because inside the ring there were some words. They were, 'To Inger, All my love, Thomas'. And so Mr Carlsson gave the ring back to them. Inger now has two rings. When they lost the first one, Thomas bought Inger another one. But they think the one the fish ate is the best one. 1.

Thomas asked Inger to marry him when they were on a boat.

Томас действительно сделал Ингер предложение, когда они находились на лодке.

2. B — Wrong (Неверно)

Thomas put the gold ring on Inger's finger.

В тексте сказано: «He wanted to put the ring on Inger's finger, but he dropped it and it fell into the sea».

Томас хотел надеть кольцо на палец Ингер, но уронил его в море.

3. A — Right (Верно)

They returned from their boat trip without the ring.

В тексте сказано: «They were sure the ring was lost forever».

Они потеряли кольцо в море и были уверены, что больше никогда его не найдут. Следовательно, они вернулись с прогулки без кольца.

4. C — Doesn't say (Не сказано)

Mr Carlsson often visited Thomas and Inger.

В тексте говорится, что мистер Карлссон посетил Томаса и Ингер на прошлой неделе, но не сообщается, часто ли он приходил к ним раньше.

5. C — Doesn't say (Не сказано)

Mr Carlsson caught the fish.

В тексте сказано, что мистер Карлссон владел рыбным магазином и нашёл кольцо внутри большой рыбы. Однако не говорится, что именно он поймал эту рыбу.

6. B — Wrong (Неверно)

Mr Carlsson found the ring when he ate the fish.

В тексте сказано: «He found the ring in a large fish which he was cutting up for one of his customers».

Мистер Карлссон обнаружил кольцо, когда разделывал рыбу для покупателя, а не когда ел её.

7. A — Right (Верно)

Thomas and Inger prefer the first ring.

В тексте сказано: «But they think the one the fish ate is the best one».

Томас и Ингер считают первое кольцо, которое проглотила рыба, самым лучшим. Значит, они предпочитают именно его.
