Перевод задания: Прочитайте текст и подчеркните правильное слово.

1. There are five people in Sophie’s family. (В семье Софи пять человек.) — мама, папа, Софи, Лео и Миа.
2. Robert is Sophie’s dad. (Роберт — папа Софи.)
3. Helen is Sophie’s mum. (Хелен — мама Софи.)
4. Leo has short, fair hair. (У Лео короткие светлые волосы.)
5. Sophie’s dad is short and slim. (Папа Софи невысокий и стройный.)
6. Mia is 9 years old. (Мие девять лет.)
7. Leo has got small ears. (У Лео маленькие уши.)

В распознанном тексте предложение о Лео повторяется, а фраза “He’s in his late thirties” противоречит указанному возрасту Лео (10 лет) и, вероятно, относится к отцу. Ответы выше основаны на однозначных данных текста.

Ответ: 1) five; 2) Robert; 3) Helen; 4) short; 5) slim; 6) 9; 7) small.
