Answer: 0. B
Missing in the icy, windswept wilderness of Scotland’s mountains,
Andrew Wilson walked into a local police station early this morning. He had
survived for three days in Arctic conditions, and been given up for dead.
Andrew was cold, tired and hungry but otherwise unscathed by his
ordeal. 1 by savage winds and deep snow, he had been unable to de-
scend.
“I knew I had to get out of the wind and conserve body heat, 2 I
dug a hole in the snow and stayed there. I ate the sandwiches and chocolate
that I had brought with me and I had a flask of coffee. As soon as the
storm died down, I walked 3 the mountain”, said Andrew.
“Andrew has a lot of experience and knew exactly what to do”,
commented Richard Frobisher, leader of the local mountain rescue team.
“He knew that hypothermia, a severe drop in the body’s core temperature,
can cause death within two hours. It is crucial to prevent this. Andrew may
well have survived because of the sandwiches and chocolate and hot drink
he had brought with him to 4 his energy levels. Wind chill can be a
real killer. People can get so tired they just lose consciousness. Andrew
knew he had to protect himself against the wind”.
Richard added, “Andrew was lucky 5 to get frostbite-your fingers
and toes can go numb before you even notice-but he was well wrapped up”.
