Exercise 20, p. 366.
Exercise 14, p. 363.
Ziplining began as a way to get people across impassible
places like canyons and rivers. But in the 1980s, Costa
Rica, with its emphasis on eco-tourism, turned it into
a thrilling adventure. The opportunity to soar over
spectacular scenery has made ziplining one of Costa Rica’s
top tourist attractions.
The concept is very simple. A cable is strung across a
scenic area, for example, a lush forest or fast-moving river.
One end of the cable is higher than the other. A harness for
the rider hangs from the cable. Riders are strapped tightly
into the harness. They climb to a platform, jump off, and
fly through the air.
Ziplining’s popularity has spread worldwide. The
longest zip line is in Sun City, South Africa, where one
cable is 1.2 miles (2 km) long. Average speeds are 75 miles
(120 km) per hour! Not all zip line rides are as hair-raising.
Companies around the world strive to provide exciting and
safe rides that will appeal to a variety of experience levels
and age groups.
Agreement is determined by the noun that directly
precedes the verb.
