Question

a man accidentally
recovered cashel man as he was harvesting peat with a
machine. scientists came right away to save what they
could of the remains.
scientists could tell that, before death, cashel man had
some severe injuries. his arm, spine, and back all showed
signs of damage. this led scientists to an important
understanding: cashel mans death was no accident.
during the iron age, kings who had failed as rulers were
often killed. then they were buried in bogs near important
ceremonial sites. when found, these failed kings often had
injuries similar to the ones cashel man had been found
with, and cashel man was found near a site where ancient
kings were crowned. all of this information put together
means it is likely that cashel man had been a king.
further study revealed that cashel man was much older
than bodies of other kings found in the bog. he was from
the bronze age and around 4,000 years old. scientists had
not known that kings were buried in bogs during the

fill in the blanks to explain how
bog bodies can tell us a lot about
the past.

bog bodies are mummies. some
are so well preserved that you
can see hair on their arms. one bog
body, cashel man, had severe injuries.
this told scientists he had been

during workers. this told
scienti everyone age people
buried in bogs.

Explanation:

The text is about bog bodies (like Cashel Man) and what they reveal about the past. Bog bodies are mummies. The phrase “so...that” is a common structure. From the context, Cashel Man's injuries suggest he was killed. And the text mentions kings were buried in bogs during certain times.

Answer:

Bog bodies are mummies. Some are so well - preserved that you can see hair on their arms. One bog body, Cashel Man, had severe injuries. This told scientists he had been killed. During the Iron Age, kings who had failed as rulers were often killed and then buried in bogs near important ceremonial sites. So the blanks should be filled as: mummies; well - preserved; killed; kings; buried.
