1.Both options make sense.

Underline the one which forms a common collocation.

Last week well over a thousand people (1) took place in/took part in our local round-the-city

10-kilometre fun run. This kind of race doesn't normally (2) appeal to me/amuse me, as, frankly,

I'm not really (3) cut out for/right for long distance running. But I've got two friends who are

dead keen runners and who keep going on about the (4) beneficial/positive effects of running.

So I decided to run, partly for that reason and partly to (5) earn/raise money for charity. Friends

and colleagues agreed to (6) sponsor/support me, and pay for each mile I completed. Well, I

hadn't done much training for the big event, and after two kilometres I was (7) gasping/panting

for breath, so I settled down to a slow jog and resigned myself to plodding along with the (8)

strugglers/stragglers at the back of the race. At least I finished, and was very pleased with

myself, as I didn't need to stop. I timed myself with a stop-watch, and reckon I (9)

crossed/arrived at the finishing line in 43 minutes - not bad for a novice. The heat proved too

much for a few people who'd gone off too fast for their capabilities and ended up (10) suffering

from/showing exhaustion. Apparently, the course was very fast, and both of my friends ran a

(11) personal best/personal record. The winner (12) surpassed/broke the course record. I

was actually very impressed with the whole event; the organisation was first-class, with medical

volunteers (13) on duty/on standby throughout, and drinks (14) stops/stations every few

kilometres of the route. So now the charity of my choice is £150 the richer, and as for me, I'm

well and truly bitten by the running bug. I go running with my friends regularly now, and I'm

actually starting to (15) catch up with/get near to them!
