I think it a much better idea for you to do the exercise yourself first, and we then tell you whether it is right or wrong.

If we do it for you you will never learn.

i actually did. If you want to know. OK

1/ D 2/ B 3/ D 4/ C 5/ B
Anyway thank you for the advice. so will you help me now?

[Shyone]

1: A
2: B
3: D
4: C
5: B

The winners didn't place the olive wreaths on their own heads, so 1A is wrong.

Winner was greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their head , this means that somebody else placed them there.

Hope that helps you.

Can you tell me what does this sentences mean?
"Battles were interrupted to participate in the games"

[Shyone]

It simply means that anyone at war stopped fighting to go to the games, like a ceasefire.
