V. Read an extract from The Hound of the Baskervilles. Then circle the best options to
complete the sentences.

A strange cry suddenly rose out of the darkness of the moor, a cry that I had already heard near the edge of the
great swamp. It came with the wind through the silence of the night, a long, deep mutter. Then a rising howl and
finally, a sad moan. Again and again it sounded, the whole air vibrant with it, wild and menacing.
Henry grabbed my arm and his face was white in the darkness.
“My God, what’s that, Watson?” he asked.
“I don’t know. It’s a sound they have on the moor. I heard it once before.” It died away, and an absolute silence
closed in upon us. We stood straining our ears, but nothing came.
“Watson,” said Henry, “it was the cry of a hound.”
My blood ran cold in my veins, for there was a break in his voice that told of the sudden horror that had seized
him.
