Read the text and choose the correct answers. (10 points) In June 1950, a man suddenly appeared in the centre of Times Square in New York. He was about 30 years old, was wearing old-fashioned clothes and had a hairstyle that had gone out of fashion many years before. According to witnesses, he looked confused. A minute later, he was hit by a car and killed. When police examined the man, they found 19th-century money in his pockets. They also found business cards, with the name Rudolph Fentz on them. When the police began looking into the occurrence, they could not find any records of the dead man. They had almost given up hope when they discovered the widow of Rudolph Fentz Junior. According to the widow, her father-in-law, Rudolph Fentz Senior, had vanished one day in 1876 at the age of 29. He had left the house for an evening walk and never returned. Amazingly, the address of her father-in-law was the same as the address on the business cards from the dead man’s pockets. It appeared that Rudolph Fentz had gone missing in 1876 and then reappeared in 1950. Many people believed that he had travelled through time. In 2000, a researcher decided to try to get to the bottom of this unusual story. His research revealed that the story was actually fictional. It turned out that its source was a story called I’m Scared by the famous science-fiction writer Jack Finney. Although no copies of the original story were ever found, he claimed that it was originally published in September 1951. It seemed that he had finally solved the mystery. Or so everyone thought. In 2007, another researcher found a newspaper story about the incident from April 1951. Amazingly, this newspaper article was printed almost five months before the short story I’m Scared. As a result, some people have developed a theory that Jack Finney’s fictional story was actually based on a true story that he had read about in the newspaper. Yet, since Finney died in 1995 and he was never questioned about this, we will never know. 1. The man in Times Square was wearing clothes that were … . a. old
