Read the text. Choose from the sentences (A–F) the one which fits each gap (1–5). There is one extra sentence. During World War Two, George Dupré worked for Canadian intelligence. For much of the war, he worked in an office in Winnipeg, Canada, although he was sent to Britain later in the conflict. When he returned to Canada after the war, people were naturally interested in hearing about what he had done. (1) He told his fascinated listeners about how he was sent to France to work undercover. Eventually, he had been arrested by the Germans, who had recognised his importance to the war effort. They had tortured him for information but George was strong and brave. He had refused to tell them anything. He was the man who wouldn’t talk. 1.It proved to be quite simple to keep up the deception. 2.He arranged to meet George, claiming that he too had worked for Canadian intelligence in Europe.

3.It was such a good story that people still enjoyed it, even though they knew it wasn’t true. 4.It helped that one or two of the stories were actually true. George really had been a wartime hero.

5.George was a good storyteller and he slowly started to exaggerate his role in the war so that his stories became more and more sensational.

6. A writer, called Quentin Reynolds, had the idea of writing a book about George.
