B. Tom got lost on a hike because ... 1) his father hadn't explained to him how to use a compass. 2) his father hadn't given him a compass. 3) he wanted to make his father feel sorry for him. 4) he had paid no attention to what his father was telling him.

The correct answer is **4) he had paid no attention to what his father was telling him.** **Explanation:** The text says, "When I was eight, my father took me on our first and last camping weekend in my life. It was raining. We went for a hike, and I got lost...While we were walking, we were talking about the north, the south, the east and the west. I was cold and bored, so I didn't listen very well. He left me to find my way back." This shows that he got lost because he wasn't paying attention to his father. **Перевод на русский язык:** Правильный ответ: **4) он не обращал внимания на то, что говорил ему отец.** **Объяснение:** В тексте говорится: «Когда мне было восемь лет, отец взял меня на наши первые и последние выходные в кемпинге в моей жизни. Шел дождь. Мы пошли в поход, и я заблудился...Пока мы шли, мы говорили о севере, юге, востоке и западе. Мне было холодно и скучно, поэтому я не слушал очень внимательно. Он оставил меня, чтобы я нашел дорогу обратно». Это показывает, что он заблудился, потому что не слушал отца.
