Read the text about a military briefing and choose the false statement.
Now the platoon commander of No 3 Platoon is briefing his section commanders:
‘Pay attention and take notes. The Company Commander is not happy with the standard of map reading. So, next Tuesday, 26th October, the whole platoon is going out on a 24-hour exercise, Exercise "Hot Foot". The aim of the exercise is to give the platoon practice in compass marching across country. You will move by day and night. The dress for the exercise will be fighting order. You will not carry weapons and ammunition. You are to draw combat rations for your sections from the stores. Do this at 1600 hours on Monday 25th October. Individuals will be responsible for their own meals during the exercise. Each man is to take a protractor, a compass, map sheet 175, map-case, torch and chinagraph pencils. You are responsible for checking this. The platoon is to parade outside the guardroom at 0730 hours on Tuesday 26th October. We shall travel to the exercise area by 4-tonner but we shall march back to camp. Estimated time of return to camp will be 1030 hours on Wednesday 27th October. Make sure you brief your sections. Right, that's all. Any questions?’

Resolução comentada
Identificar a afirmação falsa sobre o briefing.
O texto diz que a tropa irá ao local do exercício de 4-tonner, mas voltará marchando ('we shall march back to camp'). Logo, afirmar que retornará em veículo militar é falso.
