Explanation:

Analyze the source text for Paragraph A

We need to find the missing information in the summary for section A.
The source text for A states:
"Among either 10,000 there are 2,000 of whom each one leads a mastiff, or maybe two or more, so that the total number is immense. When the Great Khan goes hunting, one of the two brothers with his 10,000 men and fully 5,000 hounds goes with him on one side and the other with his 10,000 and the other with his 10,000 and his hounds goes on the other."

The summary for A states:
"When the Great Khan goes hunting, the total number of people and animals is immense, since the Khan has 10,000 men and ________ on one side and the same on the other."

Comparing the source text to the summary:

• "one of the two brothers with his 10,000 men and fully 5,000 hounds goes with him on one side"
• The summary says: "since the Khan has 10,000 men and ________ on one side..."
• The missing detail corresponding to "10,000 men and" is "5,000 hounds".

Analyze the source text for Paragraph B

The source text for B states:
"The two bands keep pace with each other exactly, so that the whole line extends in length over a day's journey. And not a wild beast do they find but falls a prey. What a sight it is to see the hunt and the performance of the hounds and the hunters!"

The summary for B states:
"The hunt and the performance of the hunters are a sight to see, since the two bands keep pace with each other to make a line that extends over a day's journey and every ________."

Comparing the source text to the summary:

• "And not a wild beast do they find but falls a prey."
• The summary says: "...to make a line that extends over a day's journey and every ________."
• The phrase "not a wild beast do they find but falls a prey" means that every wild beast they find becomes prey (or is caught/captured).
• Looking at the structure: "and every [wild beast falls a prey]" or "wild beast they find falls a prey" or simply "wild beast falls a prey". Let's make it fit the blank naturally: "wild beast falls a prey" or "wild beast is caught". The original text uses "wild beast... falls a prey".

Refine the blank answers

Let's double-check the exact wording to fit the blanks perfectly.

• First blank: "5,000 hounds"
• Second blank: "wild beast falls a prey" (or "wild beast becomes prey")

Let's write down the complete sentences with the blanks filled.

• Summary A: "When the Great Khan goes hunting, the total number of people and animals is immense, since the Khan has 10,000 men and 5,000 hounds on one side and the same on the other."
• Summary B: "The hunt and the performance of the hunters are a sight to see, since the two bands keep pace with each other to make a line that extends over a day's journey and every wild beast falls a prey."
