Task

Read the following text from The National Geographic, Vol. 173, No. 4. April 1988. p. 513. Underline the subject in each main clause. [5 marks]
An international team of scientists, using a specially designed drilling system, has unveiled a 4,600-year-old ship in the second of two underground chambers beside the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) in Giza, Egypt. The disassembled vessel closely resembles one found in the first chamber in 1954, ending years of speculation. The team, sponsored by the Egyptian Antiquities Organizing (EAO) and National Geographic, took great care during its investigation not to disturb the ship or its environment. Working day and night, the scientists employed an air lock to prevent pollutants from infiltrating the pit. When they were finished with their work, they resealed the chamber, leaving it as it was before.
