Тест на перевірку лексичних знань A wild hunt. Підготовка до ЗНО

Living in a modern society, we cannot         [ignore, neglect, forget, omit] the acts of crime that take place every day. Criminal activity ranges from stealing to the more serious crimes of kidnapping and murder.

Just recently, a hunt was on for two men who            [stole, robbed, shoplifted, hijacked]an off-licence in broad daylight. The shop owner tried to call the police, but he received a severe blow to the back of his head, which left him unconscious.

It appears that the two             [criminals, convicts, pickpockets, burglars] had planned everything very well, since they           [escaped, avoided, prevented, stopped] getting caught.

They were seen getting on their motorbike holding guns by two policemen in a patrol car, who started           [arresting, chasing, hunting, following] them.

          [Despite, Therefore, Although, However] the robbers managed to get away through the back streets.

All exits from the city were closed      [down, off, up, away]immediately.

Even the airport was put on alert and flights were delayed, as strict security measures were          [taken, followed, put, made] and all passengers were asked to give proof of their identity.

Many people considered this a nuisance and were shocked       [with, about, from, by]these tactics.

So, they put the            [fault, accusation, blame, cause] for the situation on the police and           [charged, accused, blamed, convicted] them of incompetence.

In the end, the police            [got, recognised, took, received] responsibility for the setbacks.
