One morning, the boy came to Robert with a beautiful map of an island, Robert noticed that the boy had drawn a large cross in the middle of island. �What�s that?� he asked. �That�s the buried treasure,� said the boy. Robert suddenly saw something of an adventure story in the boy�s _1__ .While the rain was pouring, Robert sat down by the fire to write a story. He would make the hero a twelve-year-old boy, just like Lloyd. But who would be the pirate？
Robert had a good friend named Henley, who walked around with the help of a wooden leg. Robert had always wanted to _2__ such a man in a story. Thus Long John Silver, the pirate with a wooden leg, was born.
1. A. reply B. picture
2. A. produce B. include

The answers are BOTH B.

Thanks

I think you could say that Robert Louis Stevenson saw something of an adventure story in the boy's reply, but you could not say that he wanted to produce such a man in a story.
