Answer 1

I came to Chukotka, in Russia, to go on a (1) voyage up the coast to the Bering Strait with a team of dogs. To do this, I had to learn how to (2) train the dog team. For the people who live in the far north of Russia the dog sledge is the only sure (3) means of transport across the snow and ice. (4) When you become the new leader of a dog team, your (5) main task is to make the dogs realize you are useful to them - you feed them. (6) After a difficult first few weeks, the dogs started to listen to my orders. But even then, although they were clearly (7) trying hard, they were only guessing (8) whether I meant them to go left or right. Unable to understand my orders, some dogs would go one (9) way, some the other.

The rest too, hoped that they would be doing the right thing (10) by going straight ahead.
