Click next once you have selected your answer to take the next question Question 81. The following question relates to the online article above written by Meghan Vivo Question. Which of the following sentences from the article suggests possibility rather than certainty? Hint Hint: This question can be very tricky. Possibility means it “could happen” whereas “certainty” means “it is definitely going to happen”. You need to look at the various answers and see if they include words or phrases which make them definite. Eliminate the sentences that include definite phrases such as “does not” or “this proves” and then look for the remaining sentence which is remaining “The medical community currently does not recognize video game addiction” this answer is incorrect because the sentence includes the phrase “does not” which makes it certain “Rekindling the debate as to the existence …” this answer is correct because the sentence includes the phrase “rekindling the debate” which means people could create an argument about it so it can’t be a certainty Some displayed … symptoms of pathological gambling this answer is incorrect because the sentence includes the phrase “does not” which makes it certain The study … based on data from a nationwide survey this answer is incorrect because the sentence includes the phrase “does not” which makes it certain None Question 82. The following question relates to the online article above written by Meghan Vivo Question. What is the most likely reason Dr Douglas Gentile is quoted in this article? Hint Hint: Carefully read the quote by Dr Douglas Gentile and the sentence after the quote he acts as an expert who supports the argument posed in the article this answer is correct because the writer includes (1) Dr Gentile’s full title and position to make his opinion sound more valid and (2) his comment to support her argument because he was available at the time for an interview and knows a lot about gambling addiction this answer is incorrect because Dr Gentile does not research gambling addiction because he was interested in this article and wanted to add a comment to it this answer is incorrect because generally writers approach experts rather than experts approaching writers to add statistical evidence to the debate over the addictiveness of gaming this answer is incorrect because Dr Douglas Gentile does not add any statistical information to the article None Question 83. The following question relates to the online article above written by Meghan Vivo Question. What is the writer of this article hoping to achieve? Hint Hint: read the title and the first few sentences carefully then read the answers below and look for the closest match to convince readers that games are not addictive this answer is incorrect because the writer is suggesting the complete opposite, namely that games are addictive to convince parents that gaming is worse than gambling this answer is incorrect because the writer seeks to start a conversation rather than create one specific argument to prove more research needs to be done on all sorts of addiction this answer is incorrect because the writer includes a quote which calls for an “educated conversation” regarding video games rather than research into other sorts of addiction to challenge people who think video game addiction isn’t a real medical condition this answer is correct because in the first sentence of the article the writer notes “To all of those who argue video game addiction is a made-up condition, new research presents evidence that may make you reconsider” None Question 84. Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer's heat, they left it and set out together for another home. As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which, one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descend and make our abode in this well." The other replied with greater caution: "But suppose the water should fail us, how can we get out again from so great a depth?" This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek story teller Question. What do you think is the moral lesson of the fable? HintHint: every fable has an important life lesson, consider what the frog says in the last sentence and make a judgement based on the answers provided you need to think through the consequences before jumping into a decision this answer is correct because the second frog presents a potential problem before a decision is made you need to act quickly to make sure you survive this answer is incorrect because the first frog wanted to make a quick decision that could have been dangerous for both frogs the first option is generally the best one to take this answer is incorrect because the first frog wanted to make a quick decision that could have been dangerous for both frogs using your instincts is not always the safest option this answer is incorrect because the story is about instincts leading you into trouble if you don’t think the problem through first None Question 85. Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer's heat, they left it and set out together for another home. As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which, one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descend and make our abode in this well." The other replied with greater caution: "But suppose the water should fail us, how can we get out again from so great a depth?" This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek story teller Question. What is the main purpose of the above fable? Hint Hint: read fable through carefully and reread the final sentence and find an answer that is the closest fit to explain how frogs find new water holes this answer is incorrect because fables are designed to provide moral lessons rather than to present specific information about animal behaviour to describe an interaction between two frogs this answer is incorrect because while the story does describe an interaction between two frogs, it is not the “main purpose” of the fable to show that water is needed for frogs to survive this answer is incorrect because fables are designed to provide moral lessons rather than to present specific information about animal behaviour to teach an important lesson this answer is correct because fables are designed to provide important moral lessons about life None Question 86. Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer's heat, they left it and set out together for another home. As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which, one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descend and make our abode in this well." The other replied with greater caution: "But suppose the water should fail us, how can we get out again from so great a depth?" This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek storyteller Question. Based upon the above fable, why did one of the frogs hesitate to go into the well? HintHint: read the fable and look for the section about the entering the well and think about why they didn’t dive in immediately frogs are scared of dark places this answer is incorrect because there is no evidence in the story to suggest that this is true because the well was very deep and they may not be able to get out again This answer is correct because the frog makes clear in his dialogue when he says “how can we get out again from so great a depth” there was no guarantee that there was water in the well this answer is incorrect because the story clearly states that the well is “amply supplied with water” they were afraid the water may dry up this answer is incorrect because although one frog is concerned the water may dry up, he is more concerned that they will not be able to escape the well None Question 87. Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer's heat, they left it and set out together for another home. As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which, one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descend and make our abode in this well."

This text is a fable from a famous collection created by Aesop, a Greek story teller Question. In the story, what is the main way in which readers find out about the frogs’ characters/personalities? HintHint: think about the parts of the story that provide the most information on each frog, what do you notice about the structure of the page or the language used to create these characters from their thoughts this answer is incorrect because the frogs’ thoughts are not presented in the story from what they look like this answer is incorrect because there is very limited descriptions of what the frogs look like from what they do this answer is incorrect because the two frogs do very little in the story other than discuss the well from what they say this answer is correct because the dialogue is the most significant part that deals with the frogs’ characters/personalities None Question 88. The following question relates to the above image of a sign Question. What do the rules of the sign imply? HintHint: read each of the answers carefully and check the rules presented in the sign, if you can find something in the rules that doesn’t fit the answer, eliminate it, and see how many options you have left the park is for dogs to roam around without owners this answer is incorrect because the sign clearly states that dogs must have their owners with them the park is for small children to play this answer is incorrect because the sign states that the park is for dogs and therefore may be dangerous for small children the park is for responsible dog owners this answer is correct because the restrictions are designed to create a safe environment for dogs and their owners dogs are dangerous and must have rules to prevent them from hurting people this answer is incorrect because the sign is directed at dog owners looking after the safety of their dogs in the park None Question 89. Question. Which of the following sentences contain linking words which indicate a cause? a) the car slid along the road due to the ice on the road b) the coach was committed in spite of the playing conditions c) the boy decided to take his dog to the beach rather than the park d) the boys and teachers entered the dance hall at the same time HintHint: a “cause” is something that has an impact on something that comes after it. Read the sentences carefully and see which sentence clearly includes an impact from one thing to the other a) the car slid along the road due to the ice on the road this is the correct answer because the cause for the car sliding was the ice on the road b) the coach was committed in spite of the playing conditions this answer is incorrect because “in spite of” suggests the playing conditions were poor and the poor playing conditions should have caused the coach to feel less committed, therefore the playing conditions were not a cause c) the boy decided to take his dog to the beach rather than the park this answer is incorrect because “rather than” suggests an alternative, not a cause d) the boys and teachers entered the dance hall at the same time this answer is incorrect because there is no indication as to who caused who to enter the dance hall None Question 90. Question. Which of the following sentences contain linking words which indicate a cause? a) the little girl decided to take her doll over her blanket b) the student was committed to the test in spite of her lack of sleep c) the golfer landed the ball on the green due to the heavy breeze d) the groom entered the church at the same time as the guests HintHint: a “cause” is something that has an impact on something that comes after it.

Click next once you have selected your answer to take the next question Question 61.The following question relates to the above image of workplace signs.Question. Which sign makes a direct reference to the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992? Hint Find the sign which has the year “1992” written on it “The Danger Construction Site” sign this answer is incorrect because there is no evidence to show that it makes a direct reference to the Act There is no evidence to say this answer is incorrect because one of the signs makes a direct reference to the Act All of the signs make a direct reference to the Act this answer is incorrect because only one sign makes a direct reference to the Act The “Notice” sign this answer is correct because there is a direct reference in the small blue box at the bottom of the sign None Question 62. The following question relates to the above image of workplace signs. Question. What do you think “Hi-Vis” stands for? Hint Hint: find the “Hi-Vis” sign and look at the picture on the sign. This should help you eliminate a few answers. Once you have eliminated a few answers, try and pick the one you think makes the most sense for a work site High Vision this answer is incorrect because the term “High Vision” is not applied to safety vests Hip Version this answer is incorrect because “version” does not start with “vi” and fashion is not the priority in safety equipment High Visibility this answer is correct because “Hi” stands for “High” and “Vis” stands for “Visibility”; the vest is fluorescent coloured to increase the chance that other people will see it in work situations Hi Visual this answer is incorrect because “Hi” is a greeting and not relevant to work signage None Question 63. The following question relates to the above image of workplace signs. Question. What does the word “authorised” mean? HintOnce you have found the correct sign, think about who would have permission to enter this site if the sign was up The person has permission to be in the designated area this answer is correct as the “Danger” and “No Entry” signs both use it and the word relates to those people who have permission to access certain areas The person is a worker this answer is incorrect because the signs, particularly the “No Entry” sign, apply to anyone who does not have permission to enter the designated area, and this may include workers The person is in charge, like a manager or overseer this answer is incorrect because even though authority is a word that relates to people in power (like a manager or overseer), being authorised is more about the level of permission people have The person does not have permission to be in the designated area this answer is incorrect because “authorised” is about people who have permission and “unauthorised” is about people who do not have permission None Question 64. The following question relates to the above map of a theatre. Question. If someone in a wheelchair entered from ”DOOR 2” after the show had started, which row would you advise this person to go down to minimise the impact on other people watching? HintHint: Have a look at the map and find “DOOR 2”. Once you have found “DOOR 2” look for the wheel chair access seats by using the legend on the side and then work out the best way to get to a wheelchair seat without causing problems for other people watching the performance I would tell them to go to Row O, P or N because they are closest this answer is incorrect because there are no wheelchair spaces in any of these rows (wheelchair spaces are indicated with a W on the map) I would tell them to go up to Row Q and then go past all the people in the aisle until they got to the first “W” seat this answer is incorrect because even though the “W” seats in Row Q appear to be the closest wheelchair seats, this action would cause the most disruption to the other people watching the performance and the question asks you how to “minimise the impact on other people watching the performance” which means lessen it I would tell them to go to the front so they could see better this answer is incorrect because even though it seems like a nice thing to do, it is dangerous to have people in the aisles in case of a fire I would tell them to go up the left-hand side to Row Y and to go to the first seat on their right so they don’t disturb people watching the performance this answer is correct because the directions would (1) lead to a seat indicated with a “W” (a wheelchair seat) and (2) cause the least amount of disruption None Question 65.
