Task 1. For questions 1-10 read the text “The Ring and the fish” and decide whether the information in the sentences is right (A), wrong (B) or not stated (C) in this text.

Victor and Anita, who live in Italy, are the happiest couple in the world. Two years ago, they were on a boat a few kilometres from the beach. Victor asked Anita to marry him and he gave her a nice gold ring. He wanted to put the ring on Anita’s finger, but he dropped it and it fell into the sea. They were sure the ring was lost forever.

That is, until last Friday, when Mr. Morrison visited them. He has a fish shop and he found the ring in a large fish which he was cutting up for one of his customers. The fish thought the ring was something to eat! Mr. Morrison knew that the ring belonged to Victor and Anita because inside the ring there were some words. They were, ‘To Anita, All my love, Victor.’ And so Mr. Morrison gave the ring back to them.

Anita now has two rings. When they lost the first one, Victor bought Anita another one. But they think the one the fish ate is the best one.
