Question

OPTION A THE PILOT

1 As a German pilot in World War I, my father was flying a reconnaissance mission over the east of France when
2 he was attacked by French airplanes whose machine guns damaged his plane. Without engine power, he managed
3 to cross the Swiss border and crash-landed in a field among surprised farmers. At the end of the war, he returned to
4 Germany from neutral Switzerland, where he had been living in an internment camp. After that, he continued his
5 studies, graduated as a geologist, and eventually immigrated to the United States, where he became a geology
6 professor at a leading American University.
7 Half a century after this wartime incident and near the end of his career, my father was with a group of students
8 at the end of a day's geological fieldwork. They all gathered around a campfire and he started to tell them his
9 experience. Suddenly, one of the students interrupted him and said, "Let me finish the story." From that moment, to
10 the amazement of all, the student provided the correct details of what had happened that day in Switzerland.
11 He told them that, when the farm workers got to the place of the accident to assist the soldiers, they found that
12 the photographer who was seated behind my father was dead. They liberated my disoriented but uninjured father
13 from the plane and provided him with food and water. Some time later, the Swiss police arrived and interned him in a
14 camp. In his youth, the student had heard this story many times from his mother, who happened to be one of the
15 farm girls taking part in the events.
