1 B when people used to dive ... to catch fish to eat
… It’s about 4,000 years old, not ‘less than
four hundred years’, so we can eliminate C.
2 C Also called ‘breath-hold’ or ‘apnea’. We can
eliminate A because It’s the art of diving
without any breathing equipment, and B
because It’s a sport which sets records.
3 C She spent a lot of her childhood snorkelling and
looking at the fish and other sea life. She used to
love diving as deep as possible looking for rocks
and shells.
4 B In 1997, Tanya did an introductory class on
free-diving. She was really good and decided
to carry on with it.
5 A Tanya … spends two hours every day either
running or riding a bike. She then dives and
swims in the pool for another three hours.
The total number of hours exercising is five.
She swims in a pool so we can eliminate B
and is either running or cycling, so we can
eliminate C.
6 B The first thing you should do is to have
professional classes … . The previous
sentence You may not ever want to enter any
competitions and you certainly don’t have to
start off in the sea means we can eliminate C
and A.
