This text is adapted from ‘The Life of Nancy’ by Sarah Orne Jewett. In this passage, Nancy
arrives in Boston for the first time with her uncle Ezra. By chance, they meet an acquaintance
of Nancy’s: Tom Aldis.

1 The wooded hills and pastures of eastern Massachusetts are so close to Boston that from

the upper windows of the city, looking westward, you can see the tops of pine-trees and

orchard-boughs on the high horizon. Now and then, in Boston streets, you can see an old

farmer in his sleigh or farm wagon as if you saw him in a Berkshire village. He seems

5 neither to look up at the towers nor down at any fashionable citizens but goes his way

unconscious of seeing or being seen.

On a certain day a man came driving along Beacon Street, who looked bent in

the shoulders, as if his worn fur cap were too heavy for head and shoulders both. This type

of ancient New England farmer in winter twitched the reins occasionally to urge the steady

10 white horse that plodded along as unmindful of his master's suggestions as of the silver-

mounted harnesses that passed them by. Both horse and driver appeared to be conscious

of sufficient wisdom, and even worth, for the duties of life; but all this placidity and self-

assurance were in sharp contrast to the eager excitement of a pretty, red-cheeked girl who

sat at the driver's side. Her face bloomed out of a round white hood in a charming fashion.

15 It was a bitter cold morning. The great sleighbells on the horse's shaggy neck jangled along

the street, and seemed to still themselves as they came among the group of vehicles that

were climbing the long hill by the Common.

As the sleigh passed a clubhouse that stands high on the slope, a young man who stood

idly behind one of the large windows made a hurried step forward, and his sober face

20 relaxed into a broad, delighted smile; then he turned quickly, and presently appearing at the

outer door, scurried down the long flight of steps to the street, fastening the top buttons of

his overcoat by the way. The old sleigh, with its worn buffalo skin hanging unevenly over the

back, was only a short distance up the street, but its pursuer found trouble in gaining much

upon the steady gait of the white horse. He ran two or three steps now and then and was

25 almost close enough to speak as he drew near to the pavement by the State House. The

pretty girl was looking up with wonder and delight, but in another moment, they went briskly

on, and it was not until a long pause had to be made at the blocked crossing of Tremont

Street that the chase was ended.

The wonders of a first visit to Boston were happily continued to Miss Nancy Gale in the

30 sudden appearance at her side of this handsome young gentleman. She put out a most

cordial and warm hand from her fitch muff, and her acquaintance noticed with pleasure the

white knitted mitten that protected it from the weather. He had not yet found time to miss the

gloves he had left behind at the club, but the warm little mitten was very comfortable to his

fingers.

35 "I was just thinking I hoped I should see you, when I was starting to come in this morning,"

she said, with an eager look of pleasure; then, growing shy after the unconscious joy of the

first moment, "Boston is a pretty big place, isn't it?"

"We all think so," said Tom Aldis with fine candour. "It seems odd to see you here."

"Uncle Ezra, this is Mr. Aldis that I have been telling you about, who was down at our place

40 so long in the fall," explained Nancy, turning to look appealingly at her stern companion.

"Mr. Aldis had to remain with a friend who had sprained his ankle. Is Mr. Carew quite well

now?" she turned again to ask.

"Oh yes," answered Tom. "I saw him last week; he's in New York this winter. But where are

you staying, Nancy?" he asked eagerly, with a hopeful glance at Uncle Ezra. "I should like

45 to take you somewhere this afternoon. This is your first visit, isn't it? Couldn't you go to see

a play tomorrow? It's the very best thing there is just now. Jefferson's playing this week."

"Our folks ain't in the habit of attending theatres, sir," said Uncle Ezra, halting this innocent

plan abruptly, as their horsecar was stopping traffic in the narrow street.

CSSE Practice Test 8 Answers
Mathematics
1 mark for each correct answer. Total 60 marks.
Question Answer Explanation
1a 8.12 Step 1: 4.156 + 3.966 = 8.122
Step 2: The answer rounds down to 8.12
because the thousandths value (8.122) is
below 5.
b 126 Step 1: 49.31 + 76.71 = 126.02
Step 2: The answer rounds down to 126
because the tenths value (126.02) is
below 5.
c 941.7 Step 1: 984 – 42.34 = 941.66
Step 2: The answer rounds up to 941.7
because the hundredths value (941.66)
is above 5.
d 911.1 Step 1: 101.23 x 9 = 911.07
Step 2: the answer rounds up to 911.1
because the hundredths value (911.07)
is above 5.
e 18.548 Step 1: 3.56 x 5.21 = 18.5476
Step 2: The answer rounds up to 18.548
because the ten thousandths value
(18.5476) is above 5.
2a 375 Step 1: Work out the sum within left
brackets: 5 – 2 = 3
Step 2: Work out the sum within right
brackets: 93 + 32 = 125
Step 3: Complete the sum: 3 x 125 = 375
b 5 Step 1: Work out the sum within left
brackets: 745 – 690 = 55
Step 2: Work out the sum within right
brackets: 69 – 58 = 11
Step 3: Complete the sum: 55 ÷ 11 = 5
c 1 Step 1: Work out the sum within
brackets: 16 + 19 = 35
Step 2: Work out the sum: 35 ÷ 5 = 7
Step 3: Divide the numerator by the
denominator: 7 ÷ 7 = 1
3a 17, 19 (order Step 1: Use trial and error.
unimportant) We know that 30 x 10 = 300, which is
close to 320, so the numbers are likely to
be within this range. The prime numbers
in this range are: 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.
Step 2:
29 x 11 = 319
23 x 13 = 299

17 x 19 = 323
b 47, 5 (must be in Step 1: We know that 45 ÷ 5 = 9, and
this order) although 5 is a prime, 45 is not. The
closest prime numbers to 45 are 43 and
47, therefore:
43 ÷ 5 = 8.6
47 ÷ 5 = 9.4
c 7, 23 (order Step 1: Trial and error:
unimportant) 161 ÷ 2 = 80.5 – not a prime.
161 ÷ 3 = 53.66 – not a prime.
161 ÷ 5 = 32.2 – not a prime.
161 ÷ 7 = 23 – both numbers are prime.
4a 52 Step 1: Work out 33: 3 x 3 x 3 = 27
Step 2: Work out 52: 5 x 5 = 25
Step 3: Complete the sum: 27 + 25 = 52
b 32 Step 1: Work out 43: 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
Step 2: Work out 25: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 =
32
Step 3: Complete the sum: 64 – 32 = 32
c 4 Step 1: Work out 82: 8 x 8 = 64
Step 2: Work out 24: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2= 16
Step 3: Complete the sum: 64 ÷ 16 = 4
5a 0.8 Step 1: Divide the numerator by the
denominator: 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8

c 4 Step 1: Find the difference between 0.3
10 and each individual value:
0.3 – 0.04 = 0.26
0.4 – 0.3 = 0.1
4.04 – 0.3 = 3.74
0.44 – 0.3 = 0.14
0.404 – 0.3 = 0.104
0.3 – 0.004 = 0.296
Step 2: The smallest difference is
'
between 0.3 and 0.4, so !$ is closest in
value.
7a 6 Step 1: Intersection of all three circles
has a value of 6.
b 16 Step 1: Add together each value included
in the archery circle: 3 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 16
c 8 Step 1: Find total number of students
who have tried tunnelling: 1 + 2 + 6 + 3 =
12
Step 2: Find total number of students
have tried water-skiing: 8 + 5 + 6 + 1 =
20
Step 2: Find the difference: 20 – 12 = 8
d 1 Step 1: Find total number of students = 8
15 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 30
&
Step 2: ($ have not tried any.
&÷& !
Step 3: Simplify: ($÷& = !"
8a 76 Step 1: Work out the rule for the
sequence: Each number is the sum of
the two that come before it. 4 + 7 = 11,
7 + 11 = 18, and so on.
Step 2: Apply this rule: 29 + 47 = 76
b 92 Step 1: Work out the rule for the
sequence: The value by which the
numbers increase is doubled each time.
8 – 2 = 6, 20 – 8 = 12, 44 – 20 = 24, and
so on.
Step 2: Work out what 44 must increase
by: 24 x 2 = 48.
Step 3: Apply the rule: 44 + 48 = 92
c 432 Step 1: Work out the rule for the
sequence: Each number is being
multiplied by 3 each time. 2 x 3 = 6,
6 x 3 = 18, and so on.
Step 2: Work out the missing values: 18
x 3 = 54, 162 x 3 = 486
Step 3: Work out the difference between
the values: 486 – 54 = 432

d -5n + 47 Step 1: Work out the rule for the
sequence: The numbers are decreasing
by 5 each time. 42 – 5 = 37, 37 – 5 = 32,
and so on.
Therefore, the rule is -5n.
Step 2: Work out the difference between
the rule and the first term: 42 – (-5) = 47
Therefore, the nth term is -5n + 47.
9a 302 Step 1: 0.0302 x 10000 = 302
b 0.0139 Step 1: 1.39 ÷ 100 = 0.0139
c 1120 Step 1: 1.12 x 1000 = 1120
10a 10cm Step 1: Recognise that the volume of a
cube = (length of one side)3
Step 2: Find the cube root of 1000: 10 x
10 x 10. Therefore, each side is 10cm.
3
b 0.001m Step 1: Work out the length of the side in
metres: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1m
Step 2: Find the volume of the cube in
metres: 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.001m3
c 600cm2 Step 1: Find the area of one face: 10 x
10 = 100cm2
Step 2: Multiply this by the total number
of faces: 100 x 6 = 600cm2
11a 1 hour and 50 Step 1: Work out the time difference
minutes between 14:20 and 16:10: 14:20 to 15:00
is 40 minutes.
15:00 to 16:00 is 60 minutes.
16:00 to 16:10 is 10 minutes.
Step 2: Add together all the minutes: 60
+ 10 + 40 = 110 minutes
Step 3: Convert 110 minutes into hours:
110 ÷ 60 = 1 hour and 50 minutes
remaining
b 15:30 Step 1: Work out the time it takes to get
from Reading to Bath: 15:08 to 15:52 is
44 minutes.
Step 2: Divide this time by 2: 44 ÷ 2 = 22
Step 3: Work out 22 minutes later than
15:08: 15:08 + 22 minutes = 15:30
c Bath to Bristol (18 Step 1: Work out the times between
minutes) every two stops: 14:20 to 14:46 is 26
minutes.
14:46 to 15:08 is 22 minutes.
15:08 to 15:30 is 22 minutes.
15:30 to 15:52 is 22 minutes.
15:52 to 16:10 is 18 minutes.
Step 2: Therefore, the shortest journey is
between Bath and Bristol.
d 16:18 Step 1: Add total minutes late to usual
arrival time: 15:52 + 26 minutes = 16:18

12a 10 Step 1: Substitute 5 into the formula to
get the value of a: (3 x 5) – 5 = 10
b 10 Step 1: Reverse the formula to get the
value of b: 25 + 5 = 30, 30 ÷ 3 = 10
c 1 Step 1: Substitute 1 into the formula: (3 x
1) – 5 = -2
Therefore, it must be 1 as anything
higher than this would give a value
higher than 0.
d 35 Step 1: Reverse the formula: 100 + 5 =
105, 105 ÷ 3 = 35
e 13 Step 1: Calculate Alex’s answer when n
= 6: 3 x 6 = 18, 18 – 5 = 13
Step 2: Calculate Marcus’ answer when
n = 6: 6 x 6 = 36, 36 – 10 = 26
Step 3: Work out the difference:
26 – 13 = 13
13a 139.5 Step 1: Work out the value of x:
2350 ÷ 100 = 23.5
Step 2: Work out the value of y:
58000 ÷ 1000 = 58
Step 3: Substitute the values of x and y
into the question: 23.5 + (58 x 2) = 23.5 +
116 = 139.5
b 99.5 Step 1: Substitute the values of x and y
into the question: (3 x 23.5) + (58 ÷ 2) =
70.5 + 29 = 99.5
14a 234g Step 1: Multiply the amount of butter by
3: 78 x 3 = 234g
b 15g Step 1: Work out the value of one part of
the ratio: 126 ÷ 2 = 63g. This is how
much butter he will use.
Step 2: Subtract the value of one part
away from 78: 78 – 63 = 15g
15a 7km Step 1: Subtract the lowest data point
away from the highest data point: 9 – 2 =
7
b 6km Step 1: Place the values in order as:
2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 7, 9
Step 2: The middle value is 6.
c 5.3km Step 1: Add together all the values: 2 + 3
+ 4 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 9 = 37
Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of
individual values: 37 ÷ 7 = 5.28…
Step 3: The answer rounds up to 5.3
because the hundredths value (5.28) is
above 5.

Papers.
d 4km Step 1: Find the mean for the first 3
months: 2 + 3 + 4 = 9, 9 ÷ 3 = 3
Step 2: Find the mean for the last four
months: 6 + 7 + 6 + 9 = 28, 28 ÷ 4 = 7
Step 3: Calculate the difference:
7–3=4
16a 151 Step 1: 151 is the only prime number.
You can see that 125 and 205 are
multiples of 5 since they end in 5.
144 and 216 are multiples of 2 since they
end in even numbers.
171 is a multiple of 3 since its digits add
up to 9, which is a multiple of 3.
b 144, 216, 171 Step 1: 144, 216, and 171 are the only
numbers divisible by three.
c 144 Step 1: 144 is the square number as 12 x
12 = 144.
d 91 Step 1: 216 is a cube number because 6
x 6 x 6 = 216
Step 2: 125 is a cube number because 5
x 5 x 5 = 125
Step 3: Difference: 216 – 125 = 91
17a 77° Step 1: Work out the value of the two
remaining angles in the isosceles
triangle: 180 – 26 = 154
Step 2: Both the remaining angles are
equal as it is an isosceles triangle.
Therefore, angle a = 154 ÷ 2 = 77°.
b 40° Step 1: Work out the value of angle b:
180 – (90 + 50) = 180 – 140 = 40°
c 8cm Step 1: Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x
height.
Step 2: Rearrange the formula to find the
value of length c: 16 ÷ 0.5 ÷ 4 = 8cm
d 40cm2 Step 1: We know the base is 8cm from
the previous question, so the area is:
8 x 0.5 x 10 = 40cm2

Question Answer Marks
1 E.g. The city is so close to the countryside that you can 2
see forests, fields and hills from a high enough window.
(one mark for appropriate answer – must mention the
city being close to the countryside –, one for accurate
SPaG)
2 The two different kinds of citizens mentioned are the old- 2
fashioned farmers and the fashionable, modern people
who live in the city.
(one mark for appropriate explanation – must mention
both contrasting groups –, one mark for accurate SPaG)
3 E.g. The carriage driver seems to be an elderly man 5
who has been worn down by his experiences in life,
since he is ‘bent in the shoulders’ and Jewett describes
him as ‘ancient’. Also, he wears a ‘worn fur cap’, which
suggests that his belongings are old and that he thinks
more about practicality than fashion – he doesn’t keep
up with the latest fashions like young people do.
(multiple answers are possible here, so long as they can
be supported by the text, but no marks for simply lifting
quotes directly from the extract with no interpretation)
(one mark for a reasonable impression, one mark per
each piece of appropriate evidence to support this, one
mark for explanation of how these pieces of evidence
support the impression, one mark for accurate SPaG)
4 (a) metaphor (1) 3
(b) E.g. This image tells us that the girl is young and
fresh-faced like a flower
OR It creates the impression that she is beautiful like a
flower.
(one mark for explaining an appropriate effect, one mark
for accurate SPaG)
5 E.g. The sleighbells seemed to ‘still themselves’ 2
because there were other vehicles up ahead and the
carriage had to slow down/stop. This meant the bells
jangled less and became quieter.
(one mark for appropriate answer, one mark for SPaG)
6 E.g. 5
(a) actively/busily/excitedly
(b) disappointed/saddened/upset
(c) new/fresh
(d) boredom/disinterest
(e) open/flowing/uninhibited
(other words are also possible as long as they are
appropriate antonyms for the words as they are used in

Papers.
the context of the passage, e.g. writing ‘allowed’ for
question e would NOT be accurate)
7 E.g. This suggests that the young man is in a rush to 2
catch up with the cart, because he is buttoning his coat
up quickly on his way instead of taking his time. The
author uses the word ‘scurried’ which suggests moving
erratically and quickly, like a rat, which also implies that
he is desperate to arrive quickly.
(two marks for convincingly explained effect (though the
student does not need to go into as much detail as is
provided in the sample answer), only one mark for an
underdeveloped point e.g. ‘he is moving quickly’, no
marks awarded for SPaG)
8 A (1) 2
E (1)
Candidates will receive 0 marks if more than two boxes
are ticked.
9 E.g. Tom Aldis and Nancy Gale clearly have 5
friendly/romantic feelings for one another/like one
another.
We know Tom likes Nancy because he says to Nancy,
‘“I should like to take you somewhere this afternoon.”’
This shows that he wants to spend time with her and be
in her company.
We know that Nancy also likes Tom because when she
sees him, she has ‘an eager look of pleasure’ on her
face and then grows ‘shy after the unconscious joy’. This
shows that she instantly reacts with joy when she sees
him and is embarrassed by how obvious her feelings
are.
(one mark for stating Tom and Nancy’s feelings towards
one another, one mark for any appropriate evidence
showing Tom has friendly/romantic feelings for Nancy,
one mark for any appropriate evidence showing Nancy
has friendly/romantic feelings for Tom, one mark for an
explanation relating the evidence back to the
point/providing further elaboration, one mark for SPaG)

Candidates will receive 0 marks if more than three
boxes are ticked.
11 (a) 6
• Where Nancy is staying (1)
• If this is her first time in Boston (1)
• If she can see a play tomorrow (1)
(accept different order/wording, but the specifics must
remain the same as the above)

This product is for the private and personal use of Amin Rahman 48 Bankfoot London RM17 5JA, [email protected]. Copyright (c) Examberry
Papers.
(b) E.g. No, Tom’s questions show that he is in fact very
interested in seeing more of Nancy during her trip. He
probably asks where she is staying so that he knows
where he can find her, and he probably asks whether
she has been to Boston before to find out if he can show
her around. When he asks about the play, it is likely that
he wants to take her to it.
(one mark for an appropriate response -that Tom is
clearly interested in seeing more of Nancy-, one mark
for a reasonable explanation (though this does not have
to be as detailed as the sample answer), one mark for
accurate SPaG)
12 (Multiple answers are possible here, but the candidate 3
only needs to provide one explanation.)
E.g. Their horsecar was already in traffic at the ‘blocked
crossing of Tremont Street’, and Uncle Ezra didn’t want
to cause more of a blockage by continuing the
conversation; After everything Nancy has ‘been telling’
her Uncle Ezra about Tom, he isn’t sure about the man
and he feels protective of Nancy; Uncle Ezra believes
that Tom is different from their ‘folks’, since he often
goes to the theatre, and therefore dislikes him.
(one mark for any appropriate reason, one mark for
supporting the reason using evidence from the text, one
mark for accurate SPaG)

This text is adapted from ‘Heidi’ by Johanna Spyri. Heidi is an orphan who has been looked
after by her aunt since she was a baby. In this passage, Heidi’s aunt has just delivered her to
her new guardian: her grandfather.

1 After her aunt had disappeared, the grandfather sat down again on the bench, blowing big

clouds of smoke out of his pipe. He did not speak, but kept his eyes fastened on the ground.

In the meantime Heidi looked about her, and discovering the goat-shed, peeped in. Nothing

could be seen inside. Searching for some more interesting thing, she saw the three old fir-

5 trees behind the hut. Here the wind was roaring through the branches and the tree-tops were

swaying to and fro. Heidi stood still to listen. After the wind had ceased somewhat, she walked

round the hut back to her grandfather. She found him in exactly the same position, and

planting herself in front of the old man, with arms folded behind her back, she gazed at him.

The grandfather, looking up, saw the child standing motionless before him. "What do you want

10 to do now?" he asked her.

"I want to see what's in the hut," replied Heidi.

"Come then," and with that the grandfather got up and entered the cottage.

"Take your things along," he commanded.

"I do not want them any more," answered Heidi.

15 The old man, turning about, threw a penetrating glance at her. The child's black eyes were

sparkling in expectation of all the things to come. "She is not lacking in intelligence," he

muttered to himself. Aloud he added: "Why don't you need them any more?"

"I want to go about like the light-footed goats!"

"All right, you can; but fetch the things and we'll put them in the cupboard." The child

20 obeyed the command. The old man now opened the door, and Heidi followed him into a fairly

spacious room, which took in the entire expanse of the hut. In one corner stood a table and a

chair, and in another the grandfather's bed. Across the room a large kettle was suspended

over the hearth, and opposite to it a large door was sunk into the wall. This the grandfather

opened. It was the cupboard, in which all his clothes were kept. In one shelf were a few shirts,

25 socks and towels; on another a few plates, cups and glasses; and on the top shelf Heidi could

see a round loaf of bread, some bacon and cheese. In this cupboard the grandfather kept

everything that he needed for his own subsistence. When he opened it, Heidi pushed her

things as far behind the grandfather's clothes as she could reach. She did not want them

found again in a hurry. After looking around attentively in the room, she asked, "Where am I

30 going to sleep, grandfather?"

"Wherever you want to," he replied. That suited Heidi exactly. She peeped into all the

corners of the room and looked at every little nook to find a cosy place to sleep. Beside the

old man's bed she saw a ladder. Climbing up, she arrived at a hayloft, which was filled with

fresh and fragrant hay. Through a tiny round window she could look far down into the valley.

35 "I want to sleep up here," Heidi called down. "Oh, it is lovely here. Please come up,

grandfather, and see it for yourself."

"I know it," sounded from below.

"I am making the bed now," the little girl called out again, while she ran busily to and fro.

"Oh, do come up and bring a sheet, grandfather, for every bed must have a sheet."

40 "Is that so?" said the old man. After a while he opened the cupboard and rummaged

around in it. At last he pulled out a long coarse cloth from under the shirts. It somewhat

resembled a sheet, and with this he climbed up to the loft. Here a neat little bed was already

prepared. On top the hay was heaped up high so that the head of the occupant would lie

exactly opposite the window.

Question Answer Marks
1 B (1) 3
E (1)
F (1)
Candidates will score 0 if they tick more than three boxes.
2 E.g. Heidi’s behaviour suggests that she is an inquisitive 5
person who is interested in the world around her. I know
this because after her aunt leaves, we are told that Heidi
explores her surroundings since she ‘looked about her’.
When she spots the goat-shed and sees that there is
nothing inside, she begins ‘searching for some more
interesting thing’. This shows that she is eager to explore
new settings and is constantly looking around for
interesting or exciting things to keep her entertained.
(one mark for appropriate point about Heidi’s personality –
various answers are possible; candidates might mention
confidence, excitableness, curiosity, positivity, interest in
nature, etc. –, one mark per each piece of appropriate
evidence to support this (for a maximum of 2 marks), one
mark for explanation of how these pieces of evidence
support this, one mark for accurate SPaG)
3 He looks at her keenly or with great attention. (or 1
equivalent)
Candidates do not need to write in full sentences.
4 a) metaphor 3
(one mark)

b) This tells me that Heidi was feeling joyful and happy,

and that she was excited about her new life with her
grandfather. (or equivalent)
(one mark for appropriate point about how Heidi is feeling,
one mark for appropriate point about what she is thinking
about. Candidates will receive no marks for SPaG, so can
receive full marks even if there are some inaccuracies or
they do not write in full sentences.)
5 Heidi’s grandfather comes to the conclusion that Heidi is 2
quite clever.
(one mark for stating that Heidi’s grandfather decides she
is clever [or equivalent], one mark for SPaG. Candidates
should not receive marks for copying from the extract.)
6 a) Spyri suggests that Heidi’s grandfather is not very used 6
to living with other people and that he has not done much
to prepare his home for Heidi’s arrival.
(one mark for stating that Heidi’s grandfather is used to
living on his own, one mark for stating that he hasn’t

Papers.
prepared [much] for Heidi’s arrival. Candidates do not need
to write in full sentences to receive full marks.)

b) E.g.
1) In the main room there is only one table, one chair, and
only ‘the grandfather’s bed’. Therefore, there is only
enough furniture for one person to live in the hut, and
Heidi’s grandfather hasn’t added more before Heidi’s
arrival.
2) The cupboard doesn’t contain very much – only a few
items of clothing, ‘a few plates, cups and glasses’ and a
small amount of food. This is just enough ‘for his own
subsistence’, which shows he has not prepared by getting
enough supplies for Heidi as well as for himself.
(one mark for each appropriate piece of evidence, one
mark for explanation of how this evidence supports the
points made in part a, for a maximum of four marks.
Candidates do not need to go into as much detail as in the
example answers or write in full, accurate sentences to get
full marks.)
Other pieces of appropriate evidence may include:
- the hut consists of only one room
- there does not seem to be much space for Heidi’s things
in the cupboard
- Heidi has to ask where she is going to sleep
7 E.g. 5
a) attached/staring at/glued to
b) not moving/still
c) space/area
d) hanging/hung
e) with great attention/intently
(other words are also possible as long as they fit within the
context, e.g. writing ‘excluded’ or ‘paused’ for question d
would NOT be accurate)
8 This suggests that Heidi does not have happy memories of 2
her life with her aunt and that she does not want to think
about it.
(one mark for stating that Heidi has bad memories of her
life with her aunt or that she wants to forget about it and
move on from it [or equivalent], one mark for accurate
SPaG)
9 a) excited/joyful/delighted (or equivalent) 5
(one mark)

b) E.g.
1. Heidi describes the hayloft as ‘lovely’, which shows she
thinks it is a pleasant place and suggests she is looking
forward to sleeping there.

This product is for the private and personal use of Amin Rahman 48 Bankfoot London RM17 5JA, [email protected]. Copyright (c) Examberry
Papers.
2. Heidi immediately and efficiently begins making her bed,
running ‘busily to and fro’. This shows she is eager to set
up the hayloft as her bedroom as soon as possible.
(one mark for each appropriate piece of evidence, one
mark for explanation of how this evidence supports the
point made in part a, for a maximum of four marks.
Candidates do not need to go into as much detail as in the
example answers or write in full, accurate sentences to get
full marks.)
Other pieces of appropriate evidence may include:
- Heidi repeats ‘Oh’, which shows she is excited.
- She wants her grandfather to come and see the room.
- She is described as ‘running’, which shows excitement.
- She asks her grandfather to bring a sheet for the bed.
10 I think his hut is located high up on or near the top of a 3
mountain. From the window in the hayloft, Heidi can look
‘far down into the valley’, which shows that the hut is in a
high position in a countryside setting.
(multiple answers are possible as long as they can
reasonably be inferred from the text – candidates must
show an awareness that the hut is in the countryside/in a
remote location/near a valley/in the mountains. One mark
for appropriate description of the location, one mark for
appropriate evidence [candidates do not need to quote
directly from the text], one mark for accurate SPaG)
11 E.g. I think Heidi and her grandfather will develop a very 5
close and loving relationship as the story progresses. Heidi
is very excited and curious about her grandfather’s hut and
her life there, as we see when she immediately wants to
set up her bed in the hayloft. Her grandfather seems to be
very easy-going and to want her to be happy since when
she asks where she will sleep, he replies, “Wherever you
want to.” This suggests that they will get on well with each
other, enjoy living together, and grow to be very fond of
each other.
(multiple answers are possible here – candidates should
make their own conclusions based on the text)
(one mark for reasonable statement about how their
relationship will progress, up to 3 marks for appropriate
evidence AND an explanation of how this evidence
supports their point [candidates can score full marks even
if they only include one piece of evidence, as long as its
relevance to the characters’ future relationship is explained
in detail], one mark for accurate SPaG)

This text is adapted from ‘Treasure Island’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. In this passage, the
narrator is on a remote island. He has just managed to run away from some dangerous
pirates, including Long John Silver, and now unexpectedly comes across someone else.

1 From the side of the hill, which was here steep and stony, a spout of gravel was dislodged

and fell rattling and bounding through the trees. My eyes turned instinctively in that direction,

and I saw a figure leap with great rapidity behind the trunk of a pine. What it was, whether

bear or man or monkey, I could in no way tell. It seemed dark and shaggy; more I knew not.

5 But the terror of this new apparition brought me to a stand.

I was now, it seemed, cut off upon both sides; behind me the murderers, before me this

lurking nondescript. And immediately I began to prefer the dangers that I knew to those I

knew not. Silver himself appeared less terrible in contrast with this creature of the woods,

and I turned on my heel, and looking sharply behind me over my shoulder, began to retrace

10 my steps in the direction of the boats.

Instantly the figure reappeared, and making a wide circuit, began to head me off. I was

tired, at any rate; but had I been as fresh as when I rose, I could see it was in vain for me to

compete in speed with such an adversary. From trunk to trunk the creature flitted like a deer,

running manlike on two legs, but unlike any man that I had ever seen, stooping almost

15 double as it ran. Yet a man it was, I could no longer be in doubt about that.

I began to recall the monsters in the bedtime stories my mother would read me. But the

mere fact that he was a man, however wild, had somewhat reassured me, and my fear of

Silver began to grow again in proportion. I stood still, therefore, and cast about for some

method of escape; and as I was so thinking, the recollection of my pistol flashed into my

20 mind. As soon as I remembered I was not defenceless, courage glowed again in my heart

and I set my face resolutely for this man of the island and walked briskly towards him.

He was concealed by this time behind another tree trunk; but he must have been

watching me closely, for as soon as I began to move in his direction he reappeared and took

a step to meet me. Then he hesitated, drew back, came forward again, and at last, to my

25 wonder and confusion, threw himself on his knees and held out his clasped hands in a

pleading gesture.

At that I once more stopped.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“Ben Gunn,” he answered, and his voice sounded hoarse and awkward, like a rusty lock.

30 “I’m poor Ben Gunn, I am; and I haven’t spoke with another human these three years.”

I could now see that he was a man like myself and that his features were even pleasing.

His skin, wherever it was exposed, was burnt by the sun. Of all the beggars that I had seen

or fancied, he was the chief for raggedness. He was clothed with tatters of old ship’s canvas

and old sea-cloth, and this extraordinary patchwork was all held together by a system of the

35 most various and incongruous fastenings, brass buttons, bits of stick, and loops of dirty

fabric. About his waist he wore an old brass-buckled leather belt, which was the one solid

thing in his whole outfit.

4a £63 Step 1: Calculate 30% of 90: 90 x 0.3 =
27
Step 2: Take 30% away from total: 90 –
27 = £63
b 20% Step 1: Calculate the increase in the cost
of the coat: 108 – 90 = 18
Step 2: Work out what percentage
increase this represents: 90 ÷ 10 = 9,
therefore 9 = 10% of 90.
Step 3: If 9 = 10% then 18 = 20%.
5a -3, -8 Step 1: Work out the rule of the
sequence: subtracting 5 each time: 17 –
12 = 5
12 – 7 = 5, and so on.
Step 2: Apply this rule: 2 – 5 = -3
(-3) – 5 = -8
b 33 Step 1: Work out the rule of the
sequence: the value by which the
numbers increase is itself increased by 3
each time: 18 – 15 = 3
24 – 18 = 6, and so on.
Step 2: Apply this rule: 24 + 9 = 33
c 22 Step 1: Work out the rule of the
sequence: the value by which the
numbers increase is itself decreased by
1 each time: 17 – 7 = 10
26 – 17 = 9, and so on.
Step 2: Apply this rule: 26 + 8 = 34
52 + 4 = 56
Step 3: Calculate the difference: 56 – 34
= 22
6a 256 Step 1: 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 256
b 3 Step 1: Work out that 6 is the cube root
of 216: 216 ÷ 6 ÷ 6 = 6
Step 2: Therefore x = 3
7a 4560 Step 1: 4564.89 rounds down to 4560 as
the ones value (4564) is below 5.
b 24 Step 1: 345.67 – 321.91 = 23.76
Step 2: This rounds up to 24 as the
tenths value (23.76) is above 5.
c 3899 Step 1: For the largest possible value of
A – B, we need (the largest possible
value of A) – (the smallest possible value
of B).
Step 2: Largest possible value of A is
9449.
Step 3: Smallest possible value of B is
5550.
Step 4: 9449 – 5550 = 3899

8a £15.68 Step 1: Multiply the mean by the total
number of bags: 2.24 x 7 = 15.68
b £2.26 Step 1: Take away the value of one bag
from the current total: 15.68 – 2.12 =
13.56
Step 2: Divide the new total value by the
number of remaining bags: 13.56 ÷ 6 =
2.26
c 6 Step 1: Divide £10 by the cost of an
individual bag: 10 ÷ 1.6 = 6.25
Step 2: 6.25 means you can buy 6 whole
bags.
9a 10m Step 1: Find the total area of garden: 16
x 5 = 80m2
Step 2: Divide the total area by the width:
80 ÷ 8 = 10m

10
fraction of the total area:
80
10 1
Step 2: Simplify: =
80 8
Step 3: Convert to a percentage: 1 ÷ 8 =
0.125
0.125 x 100 = 12.5%
Step 4: The answer rounds up to 13% as
the tenths value (12.5) is equal to 5.
10a 900g Step 1: Scale factor to find the volume of
flour for sugar = 1.5
600 x 1.5 = 900g
b 4 Step 1: Find out what fraction 600g is of
1.5kg:
600 6 2
1500
= 15 = 5
2
Step 2: Therefore, he needs 5 of 10 eggs,

This product is for the private and personal use of Amin Rahman 48 Bankfoot London RM17 5JA, [email protected]. Copyright (c) Examberry
Papers.
Step 3: Add the middle values and divide
by 2: (5 + 7) ÷ 2 = 6
c 6.5 Step 1: Find the number of marks scored
in the morning: 7 x 7 = 49
Step 2: Add this to the marks scored in
the afternoon: 49 + 3 = 52
Step 3: Divide the total marks by the total
number of students: 52 ÷ 8 = 6.5
13a Sometimes true Step 1: All prime numbers are odd, apart
from 2. 2 is the only even prime number.
b Always true Step 1: The definition of a prime number
is that it cannot be divided by any
number other than itself and 1.
c Sometimes true Step 1: The difference between 3 and 5,
two consecutive prime numbers, is 2,
which is even. However, the difference
between 2 and 3, two consecutive prime
numbers, is 1, which is odd.
d Sometimes true Step 1: If you add 2 and 3, you get 5,
which is an odd number. However, if you
add 7 and 3, you get 10, which is even.
14a 16cm Step 1: Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x
height
Step 2: To find the base, we can reverse
the equation; so base = area ÷ height ÷
0.5.
Step 3: 120 ÷ 15 ÷ 0.5 = 8 x 2 = 16cm
b 60° and 90° Step 1: It is a right-angled triangle, so
one angle is 90°.
Step 2: Subtract known angles from sum
of angles in a triangle: 180° - 30° - 90° =
60°
15a 90° Step 1: At this time, hour hand is at 9 and
minute hand is at 12, so the angle
1
between them is of the clock face.
4
1
Step 2: Find of 360°: 360 ÷ 4 = 90°
4

b 10:31 Step 1: Find 86 minutes in hours: 86 –
60 = 26. So, it is 1 hour and 26 minutes.
Step 2: Add this time onto the landing
time: 9:05 + 1 hour = 10:05
10:05 + 26 minutes = 10:31
c 2:31 Step 1: Take away 8 hours from 10:31:
10:31 – 8 hours = 2:31
d 15:20 Step 1: Flight takes 11 hours on the way
back, so it lands at 23:20.
Step 2: Convert to London time: 23:20 –
8 hours = 15:20
e 25 hours 45 Step 1: Time between 13:35 and 15:20
minutes the next day is 25 hours and 45 minutes.
17a 1 Step 1: Find the number of sweets in
3 total: 16 + 16 + 10 + 6 = 48
Step 2: Find the probability the one he
16
chooses is green: 48
16 1
Step 3: Simplify: 48 = 3

b 2 Step 1: Find new total number of sweets:

9 48 – 3 = 45
Step 2: There are still 10 blue sweets so
10
probability is now 45.
10 2
Step 2: Simplify: 45 = 9
c 1 Step 1: Find the total number of yellow
9 sweets: 6 – 1 = 5

5
yellow sweet as: 45
5 1
Step 2: Simplify: 45 = 9
18a 0.35 Step 1: Add both numbers: 0.2 + 0.5 =
0.7
Step 2: Divide this number by 2: 0.7 ÷ 2 =
0.35
b 1.125 Step 1: Add both numbers: 1.05 + 1.20 =
2.25
Step 2: Divide this number by 2: 2.25 ÷ 2
= 1.125
c 0.003, 0.03, 0.30, Step 1: Place the numbers from smallest
0.303, 0.33, 3.03 to largest as: 0.003, 0.03, 0.30, 0.303,
0.33, 3.03
d 0.03 x 10 Step 1: Work out all the sums:
3 x 10 = 30
0.003 x 10000 = 30
0.03 x 10 = 0.3
0.303 x 100 = 30.3

= 0.639kg
b 120 inches Step 1: Convert 3m to cm: 3 x 100 = 300
cm
Step 2: Divide total cm by inches: 300 ÷
2.5 = 120 inches
c 100,000ml Step 1: If it is 98% full, 2% still needs to
be filled.
Step 2: Find 1% of 5000: 5000 ÷ 100 =
50
Step 3: Find 2%: 50 x 2 = 100
Step 4: Convert from litres to millilitres:
100 x 1000 = 100,000ml
d 7329.38m Step 1: Convert 38cm to m: 38 ÷ 100 =
0.38m
Convert 7km to m: 7 x 1000 = 7000m
Step 2: Add together totals: 0.38m +
329m + 7000m = 7329.38m
20a 6cm Step 1: Volume of a cuboid = height x
width x length. To find the length, divide
volume by height and width.
Step 2: Length = 48 ÷ 2 ÷ 4 = 6cm
b 88cm2 Find the area of each different face and
multiply it by 2 to account for the area of
the opposite face.
Step 1: 4 x 2 x 2 = 16
Step 2: 2 x 6 x 2 = 24
Step 3: 4 x 6 x 2 = 48
Step 4: 16 + 24 + 48 = 88cm2
c 6 cubes Step 1: 2 goes into 2 once, into 4 twice,
and into 6 thrice.
Step 2: So, number of cubes = 1 x 2 x 3
=6

Question Answer Marks
1 The narrator first realises there is someone else nearby 2
when he notices some gravel falling down the side of the
hill, which is likely to be caused by the movement of a
person. (or equivalent)
(one mark for appropriate answer [candidates must
mention gravel moving/falling], one mark for accurate
SPaG)
2 It is hard to tell anything about the figure except that it is 1
dark and hairy. (or equivalent)
Candidates do not need to go into as much detail as the
example answer or write in a full sentence. They must
mention that the figure is dark and shaggy (or equivalent)
and/or unclear.
3 The porter is terrified of the figure, partly because he can’t 3
tell exactly what it is. We know this because, despite
being very scared of Silver, he decides to turn back the
way he came, which might take him in the direction of
Silver. Therefore, he is even more scared of this unknown
figure than he is of Silver.
(one mark for clearly stating that the narrator feels
apprehensive/scared [or equivalent], one mark for a
supporting explanation [various are possible], one mark
for accurate SPaG)
4 The creature is unusual because it is moving very fast like 3
an animal, but it is also running on two legs like a man.
This creates the impression that it is a combination of an
animal and a human, which is unsettling.
(one mark for stating what is unusual about the figure,
one mark for explaining the impression created of it
[these points must be different], one mark for accurate
SPaG)
5 The narrator realises that the unknown figure is a man. 3
This makes him less scared of the unknown figure, and
therefore he begins to feel more scared of Silver again.
(one mark for stating that the narrator realises the
unknown creature is a man, one mark for stating that this
means he becomes less scared of the creature [and
consequently more scared of Silver, comparatively], one
mark for accurate SPaG)

7 E.g. These lines suggest that the man feels wary of the 4
narrator but also wants his help. I know this because he
starts approaching the narrator, then stops. We are told
that he ‘hesitated, drew back’ and ‘came forward again.’
This shows that he feels apprehensive and nervous about
getting closer to the narrator, but he does want to
approach him.
(one mark for stating how the man feels – various
answers possible e.g. wary, scared, curious, wanting
help, one mark for an appropriate piece of evidence to
support this, one mark for an explanation of how this
evidence supports the point made, one mark for accurate
SPaG)
8 (a) simile 5
(one mark for correctly identifying the technique)

(b) This suggests that his voice is croaky and rough, as if

he doesn’t use it much. (or equivalent)
(one mark for an appropriate explanation [candidates do
not need to mention lack of use to gain the mark], one
mark for SPaG)

(c) His voice sounds like this because he hasn’t spoken to

another person for three years so he probably hasn’t
used it for a very long time. (or equivalent)
(one mark for an appropriate explanation, one mark for
SPaG)
9 (a) E.g. curious and hopeful 5
(these are examples only, others are acceptable, as long
as they reflect the potential curiosity/wonder/hope/fear
Ben Gunn may be feeling now that he has encountered
someone on the island after being alone there for so long)
(one mark for each adjective, for a total of two marks)

(b) Ben Gunn may be feeling curious as he has not

encountered another person on the island for three years,
so he must be wondering how the narrator ended up
there. He may also be feeling hopeful as the narrator
must have arrived at the island somehow, so he might be
able to help Ben Gunn escape it.
(one mark for each sentence that explains and elaborates
on the emotions given in the first part of the question –
these should be two different points, referring to two
different feelings, for a maximum of two marks; one mark
for accurate SPAG)
10 E.g. The narrator thinks that Ben Gunn has an unkempt 5
and wild appearance, although he likes the features of his
face. He says that out of all the beggars he has ever
seen, Ben Gunn is ‘chief for raggedness’, and he also
describes his clothes as being made from ‘tatters of old

ship’s canvas and old sea-cloth’. This shows that the
narrator thinks Ben Gunn’s outfit is made up of old bits
and pieces that don’t go together and that he sees him as
very untidy and dishevelled.
(one mark for appropriate description of the narrator’s
impression [candidates might mention pleasing features
and burnt skin and/or tattered clothes and raggedness],
one mark for each piece of appropriate evidence to
support this (for a maximum of two marks), one mark for
explanation of how these pieces of evidence support this,
one mark for accurate SPaG)

b) enemy/opponent
c) comforted/put at ease
d) determinedly/purposefully
e) unkemptness/being tattered/poor, frayed condition

This text is adapted from ‘Five Children and It’ by Edith Nesbit. This scene at the beginning
of the story shows five siblings moving from London to the idyllic countryside.

1 The house was three miles from the station, but before the dusty hired hack had rattled

along for five minutes, the children began to put their heads out of the carriage window and

say, "Aren't we nearly there?" And every time they passed a house, which was not very

often, they all said, "Oh, is this it?" But it never was, till they reached the very peak of the

5 hill, just past the chalk-quarry and before you come to the gravel-pit. And then there was a

white house with a green garden and an orchard beyond, and mother said, "Here we are!"

"How white the house is," said Robert.

"And look at the roses," said Anthea.

"And the plums," said Jane.

10 "It is rather decent," Cyril admitted.

The Baby said, "Wanty go walky;" and the hack stopped with a last rattle and jolt.

Everyone got its legs kicked or its feet trodden on in the scramble to get out of the carriage

that very minute, but no one seemed to mind. Mother, curiously enough, was in no hurry to

get out; and even when she had come down slowly and by the step, and with no jump at all,

15 she seemed to wish to see the boxes carried in, and even to pay the driver, instead of

joining in that first glorious rush round the garden and orchard and the thorny, thistly, briery,

brambly wilderness beyond the broken gate and the dry fountain at the side of the house.

But the children were wiser, for once. It was not really a pretty house at all; it was quite

ordinary, and mother thought it was rather inconvenient, and was quite annoyed at there

20 being no shelves to speak of, and hardly a cupboard in the place. Father used to say that

the iron-work on the roof and coping was like an architect's nightmare. But the house was

deep in the country, with no other house in sight, and the children had been in London for

two years, without so much as once going to the seaside even for a day by an

excursion train, and so the White House seemed to them a sort of Fairy Palace set down in

25 an Earthly Paradise. For London is like prison for children, especially if their relations are

not rich.

Of course there are the shops and theatres, and entertainments and things, but if your

people are rather poor, you don't get taken to the theatres, and you can't buy things out of

the shops; and London has none of those nice things that children may play with without

30 hurting the things or themselves—such as trees and sand and woods and waters. And

nearly everything in London is the wrong sort of shape—all straight lines and flat streets,

instead of being all sorts of odd shapes, like things are in the country. Trees are all different,

as you know, and I am sure some tiresome person must have told you that there are no two

blades of grass exactly alike. But in streets, where the blades of grass don't grow,

35 everything is like everything else. This is why many children who live in the towns are so

extremely naughty. They do not know what is the matter with them, and no more do their

fathers and mothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, tutors, governesses, and nurses; but I know.

And so do you now. Children in the country are naughty sometimes too, but that is for quite

different reasons.

6 à (x_) à (÷_) = 10.
Use trial and error:
Step 2: 3 x 5 = 15.
Step 3: 15 ÷ 5 = 3.
Step 4: Apply to second number
machine to check: 6 x 5 = 30. 30 ÷ 3 =
10. 10 – 1 = 9.
6a 3 Step 1: Work out 45% of 260: 10% =
20 260 ÷ 10 = 26. 26 x 4 = 104 = 40%. 5%
= 26 ÷ 2 = 13. Therefore 45% = 104 +
13 = 117 = remaining cupcakes.
Step 2: Find two-thirds of 117: 117 ÷ 3
= 39. 39 x 2 = 78.
Step 3: Use this information to work out
the fraction that remains: 117 – 78 = 39.

c 3n + 1 Step 1: From 4n – 2, you can work out
that the number before ‘n’ is the
difference between consecutive terms.
Therefore, in this sequence that must
be 3n.
Step 2: Use the given formula to work
out that the second part of formula gets
you to the actual value of the term. 3 x
1 = 3. Must add 1 to get this to be the
first term, so the formula is 3n + 1.
d 147 Step 1: Use formula to work out 150th
term in first sequence: 4 x 150 = 600.
600 – 2 = 598.
Step 2: Use formula to work out 150th
term in the second sequence: 3 x 150 =
450. 450 + 1 = 451.
Step 3: Subtract: 598 – 451 = 147.
8a 7 Step 1: 7 multiples of 7 below 50 so
(
50 probability is .
$#
b 2 Step 1: Work out that there are 25 odd
5 numbers between 1 and 50 so
probability of pulling out an odd number
%$
is .
$#
Step 2: Work out that 9 out of 10 of the
first prime numbers are odd.
Step 3: Subtract from original
probability: 25 – 9 = 16, and 50 – 10 =
!&
40, so new probability is *#.
!&
Step 4: Simplify: *# (divide numerator
%
and denominator by 8) = $.
9a y = 0.5 Step 1: Add 3 to both sides of the
equation: 11y = 2y + 4.5.
Step 2: Take 2y from both sides of the
equation: 9y = 4.5.
Step 3: Divide 4.5 by 9 to get the value
of y: y = 4.5 ÷ 9 = 0.5.
b x=2 Step 1: Divide equation 2 by 3: x + 2y =
y=3 8.
Step 2: Subtract equation 2 from
equation 1: 4x + 2y – (x + 2y) = 14 – 8,
so 4x + 2y – x – 2y = 6, or 3x = 6.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3 to get
value of x: x = 6 ÷ 3 = 2.
Step 4: Substitute value of x in the
equation formed in step 1: 2 + 2y = 8.
Step 5: Subtract 2 from both sides: 2y =
6.

10a 5:45pm (units Step 1: Add 45 minutes onto the time
needed) the programme started: 2:00 + 45
minutes = 2:45pm UK time.
Step 2: Add 3 hours to get the starting
time in Turkey: 2:45 + 3 hours =
5:45pm.
b 8:35am (units Step 1: Total time spent on train = 70
needed) minutes + 15 minutes = 85 minutes = 1
hr 25 minutes.
Step 2: 1 hr 25 minutes + 10 minutes =
1 hr 35 minutes.
Step 3: 9:12am – 1 hour = 8:12am.
8:12am – 35 minutes = 7:37am.
11a 126° (units needed) Step 1: Find out number of degrees 1
person represents: 100 people = 360°
because the angles in a circle add up to
360°. Therefore 360 ÷ 100 = 3.6 = 1
person.
Step 2: 3.6 x 35 = 126°.
b 30 people Step 1: 108 ÷ 3.6 = 30.
c 126° (units needed) Step 1: Add together information given
in (b) and answer worked out in (a): 126
+ 108 = 234.
Step 2: Subtract from total angle size:
360 – 234 = 126°.
d 7 Step 1: Work out number of people from
20 correctly answering (c): 126 ÷ 3.6 = 35
people.
Step 2: Convert to fraction and simplify:
"$
35 people out of 100 asked = !## (divide
(
numerator and denominator by 5) = %#.
12 62° (units needed) Step 1: Angle between perpendicular
and hypotenuse: 360 – 332 = 28°.
Step 2: Add together two known angles
in the triangle: 90 + 28 = 118°.
Step 3: Sum of angles in every triangle
is 180°, so A = 180 – 118 = 62°.
13a n = 17 Step 1: When n = 10, substitute this into
3n + 6 = 36 the formula 3n + 6 to get the missing
value. 3 x 10 = 30. 30 + 6 = 36. So,
when n = 10, 3n + 6 = 36.
Step 2: When 3n + 6 = 57, work
backwards to find the value of n.
Take 6 from both sides: 3n = 51.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3: n = 17.
So, when 3n + 6 = 57, n must be 17.

b 70 Step 1: Substitute 215 into formula: 215
– 6 = 209. 209 ÷ 3 = 69.66...
Step 2: Check by substituting 69 into
the formula: 69 x 3 = 207. 207 + 6 =
213, so the answer must be 70.
(Check for 70: 70 x 3 = 210. 210 + 6 =
216.)
c 3n + 6 Step 1: Substitute 15 into Rey’s
formula: (3 x 15) + 6 = 45 + 6 = 51.
Step 2: Substitute 15 into Ben’s
formula: (2 x 15) + 11 = 30 + 11 = 41.
So, Rey’s formula produces greater
value.
d 28 Step 1: Calculate for Rey’s formula: (3 x
19) + 6 = 57 + 6 = 63.
Step 2: Calculate for Ben’s formula: (2 x
12) + 11 = 24 + 11 = 35.
Step 3: Work out the difference: 63 – 35
= 28.

needed) (0.5 x 13 x 15) x 2 = 195cm2.
Step 2: Add this to the area of the
rectangle given in (a): 195 + 338 =
533cm2.
c 1209cm2 (units Step 1: Increase measurements of the
needed) rectangle: rectangle is now 52cm x
26cm and the base of triangles = 26cm.
Step 2: Work out new area: 26 x 52 =
1352cm2. (0.5 x 26 x 15) x 2 = 390cm2.
New total area = 1742cm2.
Step 3: Work out the difference: 1742 –
533 = 1209cm2.

needed) is 12 x 8 x 22 = 2112m3.
b 1072m2 (units Step 1: Surface area = 2(lw + wh + lh)
needed) wh = 8 x 12 = 96.
lh = 22 x 12 = 264.
lw = 8 x 22 = 176.
Step 2: Surface area = 2(96 + 264 +
176) = 2(536) = 1072m2.
c 264 cubes Step 1: Convert from cm to m: 200 ÷
100 = 2m.
Step 2: Cubes along height = 12 ÷ 2 =
6.
Along width = 8 ÷ 2 = 4.
Along length = 22 ÷ 2 = 11.
Step 3: Total number of cubes = 6 x 4 x
11 = 264.

CSSE ENGLISH PAPER 4

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

1. Do not open this booklet until you are told to do so.

This text is adapted from ‘The War of the Worlds’ by H.G. Wells. This extract describes how
some soldiers are being attacked by Martians who have invaded London.

1 It was while the curate had sat and talked so wildly to me under the hedge in the flat

meadows near Halliford, and while my brother was watching London’s inhabitants flee over

Westminster Bridge, that the Martians had resumed the offensive. So far as one can

ascertain from the conflicting accounts that have been put forth, the majority of them

5 remained busied with preparations in the Horsell pit until nine that night, hurrying on some

operation that disengaged huge volumes of green smoke.

But three certainly came out about eight o'clock, and, advancing slowly and cautiously,

made their way through Byfleet and Pyrford towards Ripley and Weybridge, and so came in

sight of the expectant lines of guns and soldiers against the setting sun. These Martians did

10 not advance in a body, but in a line, each perhaps a mile and a half from his nearest fellow.

They communicated with one another by means of siren-like howls, running up and down

the scale from one note to another.

It was this howling and the firing of the guns at Ripley and St. George's Hill that we had

heard at Upper Halliford. The Ripley gunners, unseasoned artillery volunteers who ought

15 never to have been placed in such a position, fired one wild, premature, ineffectual volley,

and bolted on horse and foot through the deserted village, and the Martian walked over their

guns serenely, without using his Heat-Ray, stepped gingerly among them, passed in front of

them, and so came unexpectedly upon the guns in Painshill Park, which he destroyed.

The St. George's Hill men, however, were better led or of a better mettle. Hidden by a

20 pine-wood, as they were, they seem to have been quite unexpected by the Martian nearest

to them. They laid their guns as deliberately as if they had been on parade, and fired shells

at about a thousand yards range.

The shells flashed all round the Martian, and he was seen to advance a few paces,

stagger, and go down. Everybody yelled together, and the guns were reloaded in frantic

25 haste. The overthrown Martian set up a prolonged ululation, and immediately a second

glittering giant, answering him, appeared over the trees to the south. It would seem that a

leg of the tripod had been smashed by one of the shells. The whole of the second round of

shells flew wide of the Martian on the ground, and, simultaneously, both his companions

brought their Heat-Rays to bear on the St George’s Hill men. The ammunition blew up, the

30 pine-trees all about the guns flashed into fire, and only one or two of the men who were

already running over the crest of the hill escaped.

After this it would seem that the three took counsel together and halted, and the scouts

who were watching them report that they remained absolutely stationary for the next half-

hour. The Martian who had been overthrown crawled tediously out of his hood, a small

35 brown figure, oddly suggestive from that distance of a speck of blight, and apparently

engaged in the repair of his support. About nine he had finished, for his hood was then seen

above the trees again.

Question Answer Marks

1 E.g. The narrator’s brother is watching as people who live in 2
London are hurrying over Westminster Bridge to escape the
Martians.
(one mark for correct description of what the brother is doing –
must mention watching people running away over the bridge –,
one mark for accurate SPaG)
2 Restart the attack (or equivalent) 1
3 (a) No (1) 3
(b) E.g. The narrator is not sure because there are ‘conflicting
accounts’ about what the Martians were doing at this time, so it is
hard to know for certain.
(one mark for appropriate explanation of why the narrator is not
certain – candidates can use their own words or lift words from
the text –, one mark for accurate SPaG)
4 E.g. They communicate through distinctive ‘siren-like howls’. 1
(or equivalent – candidates can use their own words or lift words
from the text. A full sentence is not needed - no marks for SPaG)
5 (a) E.g. monstrous, fearsome, terrifying, industrious, slow, 4
cautious, noisy, well-organised (1)
(similar answers are acceptable, as long as they reflect the
Martians’ power and the soldiers’ fear of them, or the careful,
methodical way they attack)
(b) E.g. I chose the adjective ‘fearsome’ because when the Ripley
gunners heard their howling and guns, they ‘bolted on horse and
foot’, which shows they were terrified of the Martians.
(one mark for appropriate evidence, one mark for convincing
explanation of how this evidence supports the adjective chosen by
the candidate, one mark for accurate SPaG)
6 E.g. The Ripley gunners only fired once on the Martian, and this 4
had no effect. After this they ran away, which meant the Martian
could easily get to the next line of guns and destroy them. The
Martian won the fight because the Ripley gunners were terrified
and inexperienced.
(one mark for each different point about the fight up to a maximum
of three marks – must mention that the Martian was successful

capped at two –, one mark for accurate SPaG)
7 E.g. This suggests that the Martian is completely calm. He is able 2
to easily walk through the soldiers’ guns and is not worried about
being attacked, which suggests he does not feel threatened by
the humans.
(various answers possible as long as they are convincingly
argued and show awareness of the meaning of ‘serenely’; one
mark for statement of/awareness of the meaning of ‘serenely’, one
mark for explanation of what this suggests to the reader, no marks

Candidates should receive NO marks if more than four boxes are
ticked.
9 E.g. The attacks are similar because in the end the Martians win, 5
and the men are defeated or run away. They are different
because the Ripley gunners are volunteers and so not used to
fighting, whereas the St George’s Hill men are better organised,
and better prepared for a fight. Because of this, the St George’s
Hill men manage to catch the Martians by surprise and hit one of
them, whilst the Ripley attack does nothing to stop the Martians.
Therefore, overall, the first attack is more successful for the
Martians.
(one mark for one way in which the attacks are similar, one mark
for one way in which they are different, one mark for stating which
attack was more successful, one mark for explanation of why, one
mark for accurate SPaG)
10 (a) An ululation is some sort of howl or cry. 2
(or equivalent answer. One mark for mentioning that it is a kind of
noise)
(b) E.g. I know this because the author describes the other
Martian as ‘answering’ the ‘ululation’ when he appears, which
suggests that an ‘ululation’ is a kind of noise.
(or equivalent answer. One mark for appropriate explanation, no
marks for SPaG)
11 (a) Alliteration OR metaphor (only one mark available) 2
(b) E.g. The author creates the impression that the trees have
extremely suddenly burst into flames.
(one mark, various answers possible – candidates might also
mention that the burning trees must be very bright. No marks for
SPaG)
12 E.g. 4
They stopped and seemed to plan what to do next.
They did not move for half an hour.
The fallen Martian crawled out of his machine.
The fallen Martian worked on fixing his machine.
(or equivalent answer. One mark for each different point up to a
maximum of three marks, one mark for accurate SPaG)
13 E.g. 6
(a) occupied/engaged in
(b) inexperienced/unpractised/fighting for the first time
(c) carefully/delicately/cautiously
(d) lasting/long/extended
(e) peak/top/summit

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

1. Do not open this booklet until you are told to do so.

This product is for the private and personal use of Amin Rahman 48 Bankfoot London RM17 5JA, [email protected]. Copyright (c) Examberry
Papers.
This text is adapted from ‘Anne of Green Gables’ by L.M. Montgomery. Anne is an orphan
who has been adopted by Matthew and Marilla. In this extract, Anne has a request to make of
Marilla.

1 “It's time Anne was in to do her sewing," said Marilla, glancing at the clock and then out

into the yellow August afternoon where everything drowsed in the heat. "She stayed playing

with Diana more than half an hour more'n I gave her leave to; and now she's perched out

there on the woodpile talking to Matthew, nineteen to the dozen, when she knows perfectly

5 well that she ought to be at her work. And of course he's listening to her like a perfect ninny. I

never saw such an infatuated man. The more she talks and the odder the things she says,

the more he's delighted evidently. Anne Shirley, you come right in here this minute, do you

hear me!"

A series of staccato taps on the west window brought Anne flying in from the yard, eyes

10 shining, cheeks faintly flushed with pink, unbraided hair streaming behind her in a torrent of

brightness.

"Oh, Marilla," she exclaimed breathlessly, "there's going to be a Sunday-school picnic next

week—in Mr. Harmon Andrews' field, right near the Lake of Shining Waters. And Mrs.

Superintendent Bell and Mrs. Rachel Lynde are going to make ice-cream—think of it,

15 Marilla—ice-cream! And oh, Marilla, can I go to it?"

"Just look at the clock, if you please, Anne. What time did I tell you to come in?"

"Two o'clock—but isn't it splendid about the picnic, Marilla? Please can I go? Oh, I've

never been to a picnic—I've dreamed of picnics, but I've never—"

"Yes, I told you to come at two o'clock. And it's a quarter to three. I'd like to know why you

20 didn't obey me, Anne."

"Why, I meant to, Marilla, as much as could be. But you have no idea how fascinating

Idlewild is. And then, of course, I had to tell Matthew about the picnic. Matthew is such a

sympathetic listener. Please can I go?"

Papers.
"You'll have to learn to resist the fascination of Idle-whatever-you-call-it. When I tell you to

25 come in at a certain time I mean that time and not half an hour later. And you needn't stop to

discourse with sympathetic listeners on your way, either. As for the picnic, of course you can

go. You're a Sunday-school scholar, and it's not likely I'd refuse to let you go when all the

other little girls are going."

"But—but," faltered Anne, "Diana says that everybody must take a basket of things to eat.

30 I can't cook, as you know, Marilla, and—and—I don't mind going to a picnic without puffed

sleeves so much, but I'd feel terribly humiliated if I had to go without a basket. It's been

preying on my mind ever since Diana told me."

"Well, it needn't prey any longer. I'll bake you a basket."

"Oh, you dear good Marilla. Oh, you are so kind to me. Oh, I'm so much obliged to you."

35 Getting through with her "ohs" Anne cast herself into Marilla's arms and rapturously kissed

her sallow cheek. It was the first time in her whole life that childish lips had voluntarily

touched Marilla's face. Again that sudden sensation of startling sweetness thrilled her. She

was secretly vastly pleased at Anne's impulsive caress, which was probably the reason why

she said brusquely:

40 "There, there, never mind your kissing nonsense. I'd sooner see you doing strictly as

you're told. As for cooking, I mean to begin giving you lessons in that some of these days.

But you’re so feather-brained, Anne, I've been waiting to see if you'd sober down a little and

learn to be steady before I begin. You've got to keep your wits about you in cooking and not

stop in the middle of things to let your thoughts rove over all creation. Now, get out your

45 patchwork and have your square done before tea-time."

"I do not like patchwork," said Anne dolefully, hunting out her workbasket and sitting

down before a little heap of red and white diamonds with a sigh. "I think some kinds of

sewing would be nice; but there's no scope for imagination in patchwork.”

Question Answer Marks

1 It is very hot/warm/sunny. (or equivalent) 2
(one mark for appropriate description, one mark for accurate
SPaG)
2 B (1) 4
D (1)
F (1)
H (1)
Candidates will score 0 if they tick more than 4 boxes.
3 (a) metaphor (one mark) 2
(b) E.g. This creates the impression that Anne’s hair is long,
flowing and shining in the sun.
(or other appropriate impression. No marks awarded for SPaG.)
4 E.g. Anne speaks in a very excited and frantic tone, with lots of 5
joyful explanations. Marilla’s tone is curt and to-the-point, and she
does not let herself get sidetracked. This shows that Anne is
excitable and passionate, whereas Marilla is business-like and
unemotional.
(one mark for describing Anne’s tone, one mark for describing
Marilla’s tone – the candidate does not need to go into as much
detail as in the example answer; excited or equivalent is sufficient
for Anne, curt/direct or equivalent is sufficient for Marilla –, two
marks for explanation of what this suggests about their
personalities – must mention both Marilla and Anne or only one
mark can be awarded –, one mark for accurate SPaG)
5 (i) She was so engrossed in Idlewild. (various wording possible) 3
(ii) She wanted to talk to Matthew about the picnic. (various
wording possible)
(one mark for each different point about why Anne was late, one
mark for accurate SPaG)
6 E.g. This suggests that Marilla has a poor opinion of Idlewild and 1
doesn’t respect it.
(various wording possible – must mention low opinion, lack of
interest, or equivalent. No marks for SPaG.)
7 E.g. Anne is feeling anxious and upset. I know this because she 5
keeps hesitating while she is speaking and the author says she
‘faltered’, which shows she is nervous. She also says that the idea
of going to the picnic without a basket has been ‘preying on [her]
mind’, which shows she is very worried about this.
(one mark for appropriate description of her feelings, one mark
per each piece of appropriate evidence, one mark for convincingly
explaining how the evidence supports the description of her
feelings, one mark for accurate SPaG)
8 E.g. 5
(a) besotted/enraptured/enthralled
(b) withstand/hold out against/ignore
(c) embarrassed/ashamed
(d) feeling/sense/impression
(e) spontaneous/impetuous/passionate

Papers.
(other words are also possible as long as they fit within the
context, e.g. scandal or excitement would NOT be accurate for
question d)
9 E.g. Anne repeats the word ‘oh’ three times, which shows she is 2
excited and emotional; Anne speaks in quick, short sentences,
which shows she is excited and emotional.
(one mark for appropriate explanation of how the author shows
that Anne is overcome with emotion, one mark for accurate
SPaG)
10 (a) E.g. She responds by being blunt and calling the kiss 2
‘nonsense’. (one mark, various wording possible)
(b) E.g. She is shocked by the kiss and surprised/embarrassed by
how much it delights her, so she does not want to show this. (one
mark, various wording possible)
(candidates do not need to write in proper sentences to receive
full marks, as no marks are awarded for SPaG)
11 E.g. Marilla thinks it is too early to start teaching Anne how to 4
cook because she is so absent-minded. Marilla says that Anne is
‘feather-brained’ and explains that she is ‘waiting’ for Anne to
‘sober down a little’ before teaching her to cook, which shows that
she wants Anne to be more focussed and less easily distracted
before starting her cooking lessons.
(one mark for correct explanation of why Marilla doesn’t want to
start teaching Anne yet – must mention absent-minded or
equivalent –, one mark for appropriate evidence of this – only one
piece of evidence is needed –, one mark for convincing
explanation of how this evidence supports the main point, one
mark for accurate SPaG)
12 Answers could include: 5
Marilla proves she cares about Anne by trying to teach her
discipline and making sure she is completing her work.
She offers to bake Anne a basket as she knows it will make her
happy.
She is very affected by Anne’s kiss, which shows she cares a lot
about Anne.
She does not want to teach Anne how to cook while Anne is so
absent-minded, which suggests that she does not want to put
Anne in any danger.
(Two marks for each different point – one mark for undeveloped
point, two marks for developed point that explains how the
evidence givens demonstrates Marilla’s care for Anne –, one mark
for accurate SPaG)

This text is adapted from ‘Black Beauty’ by Anna Sewell.
The story is narrated by a horse, who is owned by a rich country gentleman at this point in
the narrative.

1 I cannot say how long I had slept, nor what time in the night it was, but I woke up very

uncomfortable, though I hardly knew why. I got up; the air seemed all thick and choking. I

heard Ginger coughing and one of the other horses seemed very restless; it was quite dark,

and I could see nothing, but the stable seemed full of smoke, and I hardly knew how to

5 breathe.

The trapdoor had been left open, and I thought that was the place it came through. I

listened, and heard a soft rushing sort of noise and a low crackling and snapping. I did not

know what it was, but there was something in the sound so strange that it made me tremble

all over. The other horses were all awake; some were pulling at their halters, others

10 stamping.

At last I heard steps outside, and the hostler who had put up the traveler's horse burst

into the stable with a lantern, and began to untie the horses, and try to lead them out; but he

seemed in such a hurry and so frightened himself that he frightened me still more. The first

horse would not go with him; he tried the second and third, and they too would not stir. He

15 came to me next and tried to drag me out of the stall by force; of course that was no use. He

tried us all by turns and then left the stable.

No doubt we were very foolish, but danger seemed to be all round, and there was

nobody we knew to trust in, and all was strange and uncertain. The fresh air that had come

in through the open door made it easier to breathe, but the rushing sound overhead grew

20 louder, and as I looked upward through the bars of my empty rack I saw a red light flickering

on the wall. Then I heard a cry of “Fire!” outside, and the old hostler quietly and quickly

came in; he got one horse out, and went to another, but the flames were playing round the

trapdoor, and the roaring overhead was dreadful.

25 The next thing I heard was James' voice, quiet and cheery, as it always was.

“Come, my beauties, it is time for us to be off, so wake up and come along.” I stood

nearest the door, so he came to me first, patting me as he came in.

“Come, Beauty, on with your bridle, my boy, we'll soon be out of this smother.” It was on

in no time; then he took the scarf off his neck, and tied it lightly over my eyes, and patting

30 and coaxing he led me out of the stable. Safe in the yard, he slipped the scarf off my eyes,

and shouted, “Here somebody! take this horse while I go back for the other.”

A tall, broad man stepped forward and took me, and James darted back into the stable. I

set up a shrill whinny as I saw him go. Ginger told me afterward that whinny was the best

thing I could have done for her, for had she not heard me outside she would never have had

35 courage to come out.

There was much confusion in the yard; the horses being got out of other stables, and

the carriages and gigs being pulled out of houses and sheds, lest the flames should spread

further. On the other side the yard windows were thrown up, and people were shouting all

sorts of things; but I kept my eye fixed on the stable door, where the smoke poured out

40 thicker than ever, and I could see flashes of red light; presently I heard above all the stir and

din a loud, clear voice, which I knew was master's.

c 9 Step 1: 5n – 8 = 3n + 10
Step 2: 2n = 18
Step 3: n = 9
d 3n + 8 Step 1: the sequence increases by 3 each
time so we need 3n.
Step 2: these terms are 2 less than the
terms in Rahul’s sequence. 10-2 = 8, so
formula: 2n + 8
9a 1296 Step 1: 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 = 1296
b 4 Step 1: 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 625

Step 4: 21 ÷ 5 = 4.2
Step 5: 60.9 + 4.2 = 65.1
b £12.30 Step 1: 8.61 ÷ 7 = 1.23. So 1.23 = 10% of
original price.
Step 2: 1.23 x 10 = 12.3
c YES Neo’s boutique:
Step 1: 40 + 40 = 80. 70% of 80 = 8 x 7 =

d 1, 10, 14 Step 1: The only numbers which are not
prime, not multiples of 4, and not multiples
of 3.
e 0 Prime numbers can only be divided by 1
and themselves so it is impossible for a
number to be prime and a multiple of 3 and
a multiple of 4.

needed) value
Step 2: 5 – 1 = 4
b 5 hours/hrs (units Step 1: mode = most common value
needed)
c 68 hours/hrs (units Step 1: (1x5) + (2x2) + (3x1) + (4 x 4) + (5 x
needed) 8) = 68.
d 3 hours and 24 minutes Step 1: mean = total hours divided by
number of people. 68 ÷ 20 = 3.4
Step 2: 0.1 hrs = 60 minutes ÷ 10 = 6
minutes. So 0.4 hrs = 6 x 4 = 24 minutes.
Step 3: 3.4hrs = 3 hrs 24 minutes.

Question Answer Marks

1 E.g. The air in the stable is suffocating and dense, because it is 2
full of smoke, which makes it hard to breathe.
(one mark for appropriate description – must mention
suffocating/hard to breathe or equivalent –, one for accurate
SPaG)
2 B (1) 3
D (1)
F (1)
Candidates will score 0 if they tick more than 3 boxes.
3 E.g. The horses feel distressed and anxious. I know this because 5
they are described as ‘restless’ and they are moving around in
fear, ‘pulling at their halters’ or ‘stamping’. These frantic
movements show that they are agitated.
(one mark for appropriate assessment of how the horses feel –
must mention fear/anxiety/distress –, one mark for each
appropriate piece of evidence, one mark for appropriate linking of
evidence to assessment of how the horses feel, one mark for
accurate SPaG)
4 Onomatopoeia: ‘rushing’; ‘crackling’; ‘snapping’ (1) (only 1 mark 2
available)
Alliteration: ‘sound so strange’ (1)
5 (a) No (1) 4
(b) E.g. The first hostler’s attempt is not successful because the
horses refuse to move when he tries to lead them out. The
narrator says that he seemed ‘so frightened himself that he
frightened me still more’, which shows he is so obviously scared
that the horses are unwilling to follow him.
(one mark for appropriate reason why, one mark for appropriate
evidence, one mark for accurate SPaG)
6 Any two of: 2
• There is danger all around.
• There is no one around that the horses trust.
• Everything seems strange and uncertain.

awarded for SPaG. It is acceptable for candidates to copy directly
from the text.)
7 (a) E.g. I think the horses trust the old hostler and he makes them 6
feel safe. At the start of the paragraph, the horses do not want to
leave because ‘there was nobody [they] knew to trust in’, but the
old hostler manages to get ‘one horse out’. This suggests that the
horses trust him at least more than the first hostler.
(one mark for appropriate point about the horses’ feelings towards
the hostler, one mark for appropriate evidence, one mark for
explanation of how this evidence supports the point, one mark for
accurate SPaG)
(b) E.g. The author suggests that he is composed and collected,
and able to remain calm and calm others down in dangerous
situations.
(one mark for appropriate point, one mark for accurate SPaG)

Papers.
8 (a) C (1) 3
(b) E.g. This creates the impression that the fire is enjoying
tormenting the horses, which makes the fire seem cruel and
dangerous.
(example only, other answers are acceptable.Ttwo marks for
convincingly explained effect, only one mark for less developed
point e.g. ‘the fire is cruel’, no marks awarded for SPaG)
9 E.g. He ties a scarf round Beauty’s eyes so that Beauty can’t see 1
the flames, which means he won’t be scared by them and will let
James lead him out of the stable.
(or equivalent; one mark for correct reason why – must mention
preventing Beauty from being scared by the flames. No marks for
SPaG)
10 (a) E.g. kind, calm, friendly, cheery, sympathetic, comforting, 4
gentle
(examples only, similar are acceptable, as long as they reflect
James’ kindness/calmness/gentle manner. One mark for each
adjective up to a total of two marks)
(b) E.g. The author creates this impression by telling us that
James spoke in a cheerful way/by emphasising that Beauty
trusted James and allowed him to lead him out of the stable/by
demonstrating that he uses affectionate, calming language to talk
to the horses.
(one mark for appropriate explanation, one mark for accurate
SPaG. No marks awarded for a direct quote from the text.)
11 E.g. The narrator helps Ginger escape the fire by whinnying. 2
Hearing Beauty whinny outside gives Ginger the courage to leave
the stable herself.
(one mark for mentioning the whinny, one mark for mentioning
that this gives Ginger the courage to leave the stable, no marks
for SPaG)
12 E.g. 6
(a) agitated/on edge/tense
(b) move/budge

(e) high-pitched/piercing

context, e.g. writing ‘suffocate’ for question c or ‘tempting’ for
question d would NOT be accurate)
