One lunchtime, May Ward was doing her shopping in a local supermarket, when she suddenly slipped and fell. She was badly shaken and bruised but【C1】______nothing serious resulted.

Since Mrs. Ward felt that she was【C5】______to compensation, she sued the firm in the Law Courts.

But the judge took a different view. He said that the accident would not have happened at all if the firm had taken【C7】______care. It was up to the firm, he said, to provide【C8】______, that the accident did not【C9】______from any negligence on their part. They would【C10】______be in a better position than the customer to establish how long the ice-cream had been spilt and explain the circumstances to the Courts. The final result was that Mrs. Ward received £137 as payment for damages.
A)reasonable B)obviously C)evidence D)case
E)innocent F)inconvenience G)derive H)maintained

M)determine N)fortunately O)instructions [br] 【C7】
