Questions 15-16
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

Write your answers in boxes 15-16 on your answer sheet.

15. According to Carla, what is the main danger when desert camping?

16. How does Carla feel about 'dune bashing'?

The answer is A. The main danger, according to Carla, is the harsh climate. She says, "the main danger, I suppose, is the harsh climate because if your vehicle overheats in the sun or your car's air conditioning breaks down, it would really be quite dangerous to have no shelter." Therefore, (A) the heat, is the main danger, not specifically the car breaking down or becoming sunburned.

Associated Text:
the main danger, I suppose, is the harsh climate because if your vehicle overheats in the sun or your car's air conditioning breaks down, it would really be quite dangerous to have no shelter.

The answer is B. Carla says, "if you're careful, though, it's perfectly safe. But most of all, it's great fun to drive over the dunes, up and down – it's a real adrenaline rush." This shows that she enjoys dune bashing a lot, not that she finds it dangerous or frightening.

Associated Text:
if you're careful, though, it's perfectly safe. But most of all, it's great fun to drive over the dunes, up and down – it's a real adrenaline rush.

The answer is B. Carla says, "you don't want to run out of water, so stock up before you leave the city. Bring as many bottles as you can fit in your car." This is a clear recommendation to bring plenty of water.

Associated Text:
you don't want to run out of water, so stock up before you leave the city. Bring as many bottles as you can fit in your car.

The answer is D. Carla recommends, "So, get a car charger." This means it is important to have a charger for your mobile in the car, as batteries can drain quickly in the heat and mobile signal can be unreliable.

Associated Text:
So, get a car charger.

The answer is E. Carla emphasizes, "You should always go in a group of at least 2 cars, and preferably more. It's just much safer." This shows that camping with a group is an important preparation tip.

Associated Text:
You should always go in a group of at least 2 cars, and preferably more. It's just much safer.

The answer is A. Carla clearly states, "When you leave the main roads, you have to let down your car tyres before you start driving on the sand. Otherwise you'd just sink if they were still pumped up with air." This means you can't drive on sand with tyres full of air.

Associated Text:

The answer is C. Carla explains about towing equipment: "So a strong rope that can be fixed to the front or back of any vehicle that gets stuck in the sand and then attached to another car that can pull it free." This means you might need to pull a vehicle out of the sand.

Associated Text:
