Analyze paragraph A and extract key information
We need to complete the summary for paragraph A.
The original text in A states:
"When the Khan has spent the three months of December, January, and February in the city of which I have spoken, he sets off in March and travels southward to within two days' journey of the Ocean. He is accompanied by fully 10,000 falconers and takes with him fully 5,000 gerfalcons and peregrine falcons and sakers' in great abundance, besides a quantity of goshawks for hawking along the riversides."
The summary template for A is:
"When the Khan sets off in March, traveling southward, he is accompanied by 10,000 falconers and 5,000 gerfalcons, peregrine falcons and sakers, and a quantity of goshawks."
Looking closely at the image, the blank space in the summary for A is:
"When the Khan [blank], traveling southward, he is accompanied by 10,000 falconers and 5,000 gerfalcons, peregrine falcons and sakers, and a quantity of goshawks."
Wait, let's look at the printed text in the summary box for A:
"When the Khan [blank]"
Then on the next line:
"traveling southward, he is accompanied by 10,000 falconers and 5,000 gerfalcons, peregrine falcons and sakers, and a quantity of goshawks."
Wait, let's read the exact words in the image for summary A:
"When the Khan [blank]"
"traveling southward, he is accompanied by 10,000 falconers and 5,000 gerfalcons, peregrine falcons and sakers, and a quantity of goshawks."
Wait, let's look at the original text: "he sets off in March and travels southward".
So the summary has "traveling southward" already. The missing part is "sets off in March".
Let's verify the exact line in the summary:
"When the Khan [blank]"
"traveling southward..."
So the blank should be filled with "sets off in March" to complete the meaning of "When the Khan sets off in March, traveling southward...".
Analyze paragraph B and extract key information
The original text in B states:
"You must not imagine that he keeps all this company with him in one place. In fact he distributes them here and there, in groups of a hundred or two hundred or more. Then they engage in fowling, and most of the fowl they take are brought to the Great Khan."
The summary template for B is:
"This company is not kept with the Great Khan in one place but [blank] here and there in groups, engaging in fowling and bringing most of the fowl they take to the Great Khan."
Looking at the original text: "In fact he distributes them here and there, in groups...".
The summary template uses passive voice or a similar structure: "This company is not kept... but [blank] here and there in groups".
Since "This company" is the subject, we need a passive verb phrase that matches "he distributes them".
"This company is not kept with the Great Khan in one place but is distributed" or "distributed".
Let's check the grammar: "This company is not kept... but is distributed here and there in groups".
Thus, the blank should be filled with "is distributed" or "distributed". "is distributed" fits perfectly with "is not kept... but i…
