Решение:

Прочитаем текст и определим, верны ли утверждения.

1. Неверно. В тексте говорится: "Tim Bolt didn't really like sport at all until he discovered something both new and unusual." Он открыл для себя подводный хоккей, а не играл в хоккей до этого.
2. Верно. В тексте сказано: "Unlike water polo, where the action takes place above the water, underwater hockey is played at the bottom of the pool." Подводный хоккей сравнивается с водным поло.
3. Неверно. В тексте указано: "Underwater hockey was invented by a British diving club in 1954." Изобретено в Великобритании, а не в Канаде.
4. Верно. Тим говорит: "The rulers are simple, you just have to slide the puck into the opposing team's goal." Это означает, что правила несложные.
5. Верно. В тексте перечислено: "Players wear masks, flippers and snorkels during the game."

Ответ: 1 - неверно, 2 - верно, 3 - неверно, 4 - верно, 5 - верно.
