Exercise 3
Read the blog post and answer the following questions
It had been a while since I climbed one of Malaysia's highest mountains so I decided it was time to take on Gunung Nuang.
This mountain, situated in the Hulu Langat district of Selangor state is often described as Selangor's tallest peak but according to my list of Malaysia's Tallest Mountains, it is only the 3rd highest after Gunung Semangkok and Gunung Ulu Kali. I think the discrepancy arises because all three of these mountains are right on the border between Selangor and Pahang so sometimes they might be classified under Pahang.
Gunung Nuang is 1439 metres high (4898 feet) making it the 86th highest peak in Malaysia according to my list. Although it is a relative baby in Malaysian terms, it is still a good size - higher than any mountain in Britain for example (Ben Nevis is 95m shorter).
I had read various reviews about this mountain and they vary in their opinions. One review said that it is harder than climbing Mount Kinabalu. I think that is an exaggeration but there is no doubt it is a gruelling and strenuous trip particularly if you are going up and down in one day which is what most people do.
I have never been superfit and now that I am nearly 57 with a pair of dodgy knees you can believe me when I say that, for most of us with average fitness, climbing Gunung Nuang is very arduous and exhausting.

Tick (/) the best answer.
Gunung Nuang is located at Kuantan, Pahang.
True

False
/
The blogger said it is harder to climb Gunung Nuang than Mount Kinabalu.

/
How high is the mountain?
A Less than one thousand meters
B Over one thousand meters
C Not more than a thousand meters
D More than a thousand and five hundred meters

B archealogist
C senior citizen
D professional mount climber _____.
The best word to replace exhausting is _____.
A tiring
B enjoying    
C fascinating
D interesting
