    1B It’s a mystery

    1 READING & LISTENING understanding facts vs theories


    b They are all unsolved mysteries.

    c 1 There was nobody at the lighthouse. This was discovered by the three new lighthouse keepers
    who arrived at the island to relieve the men who had been working there for three months.
    2 the lighthouse door was unlocked
    a chair was knocked over
    one rain jacket was hanging on its hook, but the other two
    had disappeared
    the clocks had stopped
    the last entry in the log book was 9 a.m. on 15th December
    3 The men had argued about a woman; they had been kidnapped by German agents; they had been
    carried away by a sea serpent, a giant bird, or a boat full of ghosts.

    d 1 puzzle 2 baffle 3 remote 4 extraordinary 5 trace 6 solve

    e Muirhead thought that the men had been washed away by an enormous wave.
    People rejected his idea at the time.
    Now people think that small waves can combine to create a huge wave, which swept the men
    away.

    f 1 A huge rock was lying on the steps leading up to the lighthouse, but it would have been too
    heavy for anyone to carry, so it adds evidence to the idea of the huge wave.
    2 The ship Queen Elizabeth II was hit by a 100-ft wave in 1995, a modern example of Muirhead’s
    theory.
    3 A paper in a scientific journal has recently been published saying that monster waves really
    exist.
    4 1901 was the date when Muirhead actually solved the mystery, but then there was no proof.
    5 There are some things we will never know the answers to.
