Read the text and then complete 30–37.
A man who was sentenced to five years in prison by a judge heard yesterday that his sentence would be changed. The unfortunate man, Duncan Smith, had been on trial for stealing a bicycle and then hitting a woman on the head. Mr Smith had never denied taking the bike, but claimed that he had thought it was his as he had an identical one. He admitted hitting the woman but said he had only done it because she had hit him first. The problem with Mr Smith’s sentencing came when the jury were reading out their verdict. At the exact moment the foreman of the jury read out ‘Not guilty’ a woman sitting at the front shouted something. The judge didn’t hear the word ‘Not’ and thought the jury had found Mr Smith guilty.
If Duncan Smith hadn’t hit the woman, he (30) ____________________ have been on trial.
Duncan Smith (31) wouldn’t ____________________ the bike, if he (32) ____________________ one that was exactly the same.
If the woman (33) ____________________ him first, he (34) ____________________ have hit her.
If the woman (35) ____________________ something, then the judge (36) ____________________ the correct verdict.
If the judge (37) ____________________ the word ‘Not’, then he wouldn’t have sentenced Mr Smith to five years in prison.
