24 The ships rest along the shoreline, where workers climb on them and take them apart piece by piece. In 2012, observers recorded that 365 ships ______________________ LIE on beaches in this region.
25 The work is quite dangerous, and occasionally, workers lose ______________________ THEY lives. More must be done to make this work safe.
