(Маркус был в восторге, когда после трёх попыток прошёл отбор в школьную команду по плаванию. Мы пытались уговорить папу тренировать команду по регби, но у него просто не было времени.)
3. A — out. If you’re tired of karate, maybe you should try out kickboxing. After hurting his knee, Brad dropped out of the long jump competition. (Если карате тебе надоело, возможно, стоит попробовать кикбоксинг. После травмы колена Брэд выбыл из соревнований по прыжкам в длину.)
4. C — up. I look up to famous athletes who help young people. Darren picked up basketball while playing with his older brothers. (Я восхищаюсь знаменитыми спортсменами, которые помогают молодёжи. Даррен увлёкся баскетболом, играя со старшими братьями.)
