Going Places

1 / 15

On Saturday they made their weekly pilgrimage to watch United. Sophie and her father and little Derek went down near the goal — Geoff, as always, went with his mates higher up.

Sophie glowed with pride. Afterwards, Geoff was ecstatic.

Choose the option listing the situation in which one would be ‘ecstatic’.

The evening had already blacked in the windows and the small room was steamy from the stove and cluttered with the heavy-breathing man in his vest at the table and the dirty washing piled up in the corner. Sophie felt a tightening in her throat. She went to look for her brother Geoff.
