Read the text about soccer in Brazil and choose the false statement.


    Soccer is the national sport of Brazil. The Brazilian passion for the game leads many observers to describe it as more of a religion than a sport for Brazilians. Intense and often fanatical support of the national team is a force that serves to bridge Brazil's ethnic and class divisions. Its national team is the only team that has played in all nineteen World Cup competitions, the sport's highest level of international play that are held every four years. Brazil is also the only team to win the tournament five times. Males of all classes and backgrounds play soccer. Its popularity stems partly from its limited equipment demands. The poorest of youth play in the streets because soccer requires just a ball (or even a makeshift ball) and some open space. Peladas, or pick-up games, are common occurrences, especially on Sundays. For spectators, national team games draw the attention of the entire nation. Work essentially halts while Brazilians gather to watch the game in homes, offices, bars, and other venues. Wins in international competition can lead to nationwide partying and parades; losses can lead to widespread disappointment and national debate concerning the team's performance and future.

    Drill Sergeant Mendonça barked orders to the Signal Corps students like a mad dog. Today's training was (demanding) than yesterday's, pushing the will-be NCO’s to their limits.

Mendonça, (mean) as a rattlesnake, kept reminding them of the consequences of failing the fitness test.
    The obstacle course was the (bad) of all the exercises. They climbed walls, slogged through mud, and crawled under barbed wire, sweating like pigs. By lunchtime, they were exhausted and (hungry) than wolves. Sergeant Mendonça, however, would not let us rest. "This is not a picnic, gentlemen!" he yelled. The NCO academy is not for the faint of heart in fact, but the students are determined to make it.
