This came as a 5 to me. But I was sure that my friend always spoke the truth. So, I wanted to 6 more about our hero.

These are his exact words:

About forty years ago, I was a teacher in the military（部队的）school at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination. I felt 7 sorry for him. Everybody answered the questions well, wisely, 8 he did not know anything. Then, the Crimean War broke out. He joined the army. To 9 the nation and him, I joined up with him.

We turned failure into a sweeping and shining 14.

Scoresby became famous that day as a great military leader— 15 all over the world. That honor will never disappear while history books last.
