5. Chronological order: f, d, h, a, b, g, e, c
6.
- rooting for — f supporting
- ingenious — c clever
- stunt — e risky act
- credentials — a qualifications
- malicious — h mean and cruel
- perpetrating — d committing
- warrants — g documents giving police particular powers
- legitimate — b genuine
8. The two sentences that should NOT be included are 1 and 6.
Sentence 1 is too personal and not important for the summary. Sentence 6 is too detailed and repeats Abagnale’s own explanation, so it is not essential.
10. Three more pieces of information that should be included in the summary:
- He ran away from home as a teenager.
- He worked in several jobs by pretending to be someone else, including a doctor, a teacher and a stockbroker.
- He was later arrested and spent five years in prison in Europe.
11. Sample summary:
Frank Abagnale is the subject of a biography about a famous conman who became known for his many frauds and false identities. As a teenager, he ran away from home and began using his father’s credit card to make money. He soon discovered that he looked older than his age, which helped him deceive people. His first major success was depositing other people’s money into his own bank account and making a large profit. Later, he masqueraded as an airline pilot, which became his best-known scam, although he could not fly a plane. He also pretended to be a doctor, a teacher, a stockbroker and even an FBI agent. After being arrested, he spent five years in prison in Europe. The text presents Abagnale as clever and resourceful, but also shows the serious consequences of his crimes.
