. 
WHERE’S MY CAR? 
Unemployed teenager, Christopher Townsend, had a strange way of 
showing concern when his mother went into 
hospital/custody. 
He 
bor-
rowed/stole 
her car and used the money to 
spent/splash out 
on an ex-
travagant champagne holiday for himself and his girlfriend at a five-star 
hotel in Paris. Although the car was registered in his mother’s name, 
Townsend 
convicted/convinced 
people in the garage that she had gone 
abroad and had advised him to sell the car. 
He received 6.000 pounds and claimed to his girlfriend that he had 
in-
herited/withdrawaled 
a sum of money from his grandfather. This was not 
the only lie Townsend had told his girlfriend. The teenager appeared in 
trial/court 
yesterday, charged 
for/with 
theft. His mother admitted to re-
porters that 
accusing/prosecuting 
him had been the hardest thing she had 
ever done. The young conman is now 
serving/doing 
six months’ commu-
nity 
fine/service 
and has been 
ordered/advised 
to pay his mother 70 
pounds, the total amount she has spent on public transport since she has 
been without her car. 
Task 7. Fill in each gap with the most suitable variant. 
THE SIGN OF FOUR 
“
But you spoke just now of observation and deduction. Surely the one to 
some extent implies the other.” “Why, hardly,” he answered, leaning back 
luxuriously in his armchair and sending up thick blue wreaths from his pipe. 
“For example, (1) _____ shows me that you have been to the Wigmore street 
Post Office this morning, but (2) _____ lets me know that when there you dis-
patched a telegram.” 
“Right!” said I. “Right on both points! But I confess that I don’t see how 
you arrived at it. It was a sudden (3) _____ upon my part, and I have men-
tioned it to no one.” 
“It’s (4) _____ itself”, he remarked, chuckling at my surprise.‘so absurdly 
simple that an (5) _____ is superfluous; and yet it may serve to define the lim-
its of observation and deduction. Observation tells me that you have a little 
reddish mould adhering to your instep. Just opposite the Wigmore Street Of-
fice they have taken up the pavement and thrown up some earth, which lies in 
such a way that it’s difficult to (6) _____ treading in it in entering. The earth is 
of this peculiar reddish tint which is found, as far as I (7) _____, nowhere else 
in the neighbourhood. So much is observation. The (8) _____ is deduction.” 
“How, then, did you deduce the telegram? “Why, of course I knew that you had 
not written a letter, since I sat opposite to you all morning. I see also in your

open desk there that you have a sheet of stamps and a thick bundle of postcards. 
What could you go into the post office for, then, but to (9) _____ a wire? 
Eliminate all other factors, and the one which (10) _____ must be the truth.”
