Part 2. Read the passage below, which contains 8 mistakes. Identify the mistakes and write the
corrections in the corresponding numbered boxes.

2 of the African wilderness. Rivers carry life to the forests and jungles below flow from beneath
3 the eminence, whereas in the endless plains of this continent an astonishing diversity of animal
4 species have evolved to take advantage of the immense African habitat. They have adapted and
5 survived in their different shapes and sizes. Some of them are big, some small, some eat plans
6 and some live by meat. There are those which wander alone, unlike the others which gather in
7 herd. The multiplying millions of herbivores are balanced by the frightened meat eaters -
8 carnivores whose body build has been shaped for speed and for the strength indispensable to

12 of nature towards the weakness of individual animals as only the existence of the whole species

14 might, then, be exposed to mortal danger, were it not for their perfect attributes and an
15 uncomparable skill at killing. They should never be judged by human standards. It is obvious

In the 1980s the United States Department of Energy was looking for suitable sites to bury radioactive
waste material generated by its nuclear energy programs. The government was considering burying the

nuclear waste remains highly radioactive for thousands of years. The commission entrusted with tackling the
problem of waste disposal was aware that the dangers posed by radioactive emissions must be
communicated to our descendants of at least 10,000 years hence. So the task became one of finding a way to
tell future societies about the risk posed by these deadly deposits.
Of course, human society in the distant future may be well aware of the hazards of radiation.
Technological advances may one day provide the solutions to this dilemma. But the belief in constant
