When a bear broke out of its cage at Dudland Zoo last week and climbed a nearby tree, there wasn’t much the zookeepers could do. They failed (1) to capture it with the large net they had, and then just had to wait (2) to get hungry. They put some honey, the bear’s favourite food, inside its cage, and eventually the bear came back and began (3) to eat it. Since then, there has been a lot of criticism of the zoo staff by local residents. Mr Baker, 41, of Sea Street said: ‘I accept that keepers couldn’t have done much to prevent (4) escape, but they didn’t even bother (5) to call the police.’
Ответ: 1 — to capture; 2 — to get; 3 — to eat; 4 — escape; 5 — to call.
После fail, begin, bother и в конструкции wait употребляется инфинитив с to; после prevent требуется существительное или герундий, поэтому подходит escape.
