Reading Task (multiple choice)

Read the text. In each question (1-6) choose the right answer A, B, C or D.

Blackbeard was a terrifying English pirate. He was a large, tall man. His real name was Edward Teach, but he got his pirate name from the long black beard which covered most of his face. Ships all over the Caribbean Sea feared an attack by Blackbeard and his crew.

Teach began his career on the high seas at an early age when he sailed in the English Navy in the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1713). After the war he joined the crew of the Pirate Hornigold. In 1717, they captured a French ship that Hornigold later gave to Teach. Teach took control of this ship which he named 'The Queen Anne's Revenge'. This was the first of many ships that he commanded, and it began his reputation as a dangerous pirate.

Over the next year, Blackbeard and his crew captured more than 50 ships. They often learnt a ship's nationality and then raised that country's flag in order to appear friendly. This way Blackbeard's ship could get close to the other ship. The pirates then raised Blackbeard's flag and attacked the ship. They went on board the ship and stole treasure and goods.

Blackbeard's life came to an end when the Royal British Navy sent Lieutenant Maynard after Blackbeard in November, 1718. Maynard found Blackbeard and his crew in a small harbour in North Carolina. The pirates and Maynard's crew fought each other. In the battle, Maynard shot and killed Blackbeard. Afterwards, Maynard searched for Blackbeard's treasure, but was unable to find it. The secret of Blackbeard's treasure remains a mystery to this day.
