The Super Soaker story
Super Soakers are a familiar part of summer fun, but did you know the toy was inspired by a part meant for a refrigerator? It’s true! An accident sparked its creation, but its success took years of hard work.
Lonnie Johnson, A __________, has always been interested in how things work. As a kid, he took his toys apart and put them back together, B __________.
In 1982, Johnson’s day job was working on spacecraft in California. In the evening, he worked on his own inventions. One of his projects was a refrigerator that cooled with water C __________. One evening, he hooked a part he’d made to a bathroom sink so he could test it. It sprayed a strong stream of water across the sink! It made Johnson think D __________.
He made the plastic parts for his water blaster in his basement, put it together, and asked his seven-year-old daughter to test it. As he watched her water fight with the other kids, he realised she was able to drench them E __________.
Johnson wanted to make and sell the water blaster himself, F __________. He didn’t have that much extra money, so he decided to find a toy company as a partner.

6 қадамВ пропуск A после имени Lonnie Johnson нужна пояснительная конструкция, называющая его человеком, стоящим за изобретением Super Soaker.

В пропуск D после It made Johnson think требуется придаточное предложение о том, что мощный водяной бластер может быть забавным.
В пропуск E после drench them подходит обстоятельство, показывающее, что девочка облила друзей до того, как они подошли достаточно близко.
В пропуск F после хотел сам производить и продавать бластер нужна часть о высокой стоимости изготовления первой партии.
Где здесь ошибаются
Путать части 1 и 6: часть 1 грамматически продолжает предложение после himself, а часть 6 не подходит к этому контексту.
Выбирать часть 5 без учета связи с предыдущим описанием детства Джонсона.
Записывать лишнюю цифру 6.
