It’s hard to imagine anybody who looks less like an explorer that the Victorian traveler, Mary Kingsley. But she was one of the world’s (1 tough) and (2 adventurous) explorers.

Suddenly, though, her life changed when both of her parents died within six weeks of one another. With no family (10 responsibility), she decided to travel to West Africa, a place she (11 always, to dream of) visiting.

On her travels, she had to deal with extreme heat, (18 tornado) and various wild animals. Once, while she (19 to canoe) along the Ogowe, she had an encounter with a crocodile. The crocodile was trying to climb into her canoe, so she (20 to hit) it on the head with a paddle.

The books became bestsellers and (21 to be) still in print today.
She collected eighteen species of reptile and sixty-five species of fish, two of which were previously unknown and (22 to name) after her. However, that was not her only legacy: she also became well-known for her attitude towards the African people. She (23 to be) the first explorer to show proper respect to the African people and their culture, and helped to change European attitudes towards (24 they).
