•  write a script to show an exchange between a family

Read this extract and answer the following questions.

R: How many soldiers were involved in this particular jump?

I: ‘…this caused the two parachutes to open too soon, while they were still inside the aircraft. Both started billowing like sails on a yacht.’

What does the word billowing mean?
