Questions 15 to 20
Read the texts about three different opinions on the most important
thing to pack for a hiking trip. For each question, choose the correct
answer (A, B or C) which fits the description.

A. James
The most important thing we must pack for a hiking trip is a first aid
kit. When we go hiking, there is always a chance of getting injured.
Therefore, it's important to have a first aid kit with us to treat any
injuries that may occur. We should have bandages, antiseptic wipes,
and painkillers in our first aid kit. If we're not careful, we might get
hurt.

B. Sarah
I think a map and compass are the most important things on a hiking
trip. There are many trails in the wilderness and it's easy to get lost.
Without a map and compass, we might not be able to find our way back.
This will make our hiking trip very stressful. So, a map and compass are
a must when you go hiking.

C. David
A hat and sunglasses are definitely the most important things on a
hiking trip. When we're outdoors, we need to protect ourselves from
the sun. If we don't wear a hat and sunglasses, we might get sunburned
or suffer from heatstroke. Since the sun can be very strong when
hiking, we should take these items with us everywhere.
