Correct Answer: to correct Farah's idea of what is useful
Passage Reference: When you said at lunch that you had nothing useful for the family recipe project, I realized I had explained it badly.
Why this is correct: The message begins with Farah's belief that she had nothing useful. Everything after that shows why her imperfect card and memories fit the project. Correcting that idea is the reason Nadia writes.
Tips: Use the opening misunderstanding and the final request together.
Why the other options are wrong:
- to settle which relative remembers the soup: She wants to preserve the disagreement as part of the story.
- to persuade her to publish a polished book: Nadia says the goal is not a polished cookbook.
- to ask her to rewrite Salma's card neatly: She asks Farah to bring the original card with its handwriting and stains.
Correct Answer: Salma cooked by experience, not by a timer
Passage Reference: it tells us something about how she learned to cook
Why this is correct: Nadia treats the phrase as evidence of a cooking method based on senses and practice.
Tips: Find what Nadia says this odd instruction tells her. Read that sentence to the end.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the ingredient list belongs to another soup: The card is identified as lentil soup.
- Farah has forgotten how the soup smelled: Farah remembers watching the colour. Nothing is said about a lost memory of the smell.
- the card was written for restaurant cooks: It was found among a relative's personal things.
Correct Answer: their difference shows knowledge can stay unsettled
Passage Reference: The disagreement is part of the family story.
Why this is correct: Conflicting memories serve the project because it records family experience rather than declaring one official truth.
Tips: Notice whether the project resolves or preserves the disagreement.
Why the other options are wrong:
- she expects readers to vote for one version: No vote or winner is proposed.
- the recipe cannot be understood without lemon: Salma's card does not mention lemon, and the soup still has an ingredient list.
- she wants to prove Uncle Tariq is mistaken: Nadia labels both accounts as memories rather than deciding between them.
Correct Answer: she will shape a recording into text Farah can check
Passage Reference: I would rather record you describing the sewing box and then turn that conversation into a short caption for you to check.
Why this is correct: Nadia will record Farah describing the sewing box and turn that talk into a caption for Farah to check.
Tips: Find where Nadia responds to that worry. Read her whole answer before you choose.
Why the other options are wrong:
- she will omit Farah from the collection: Nadia explains why Farah's knowledge matters.
- she will ask Tariq to write Farah's memory: Uncle Tariq is connected only to the lemon memory.
- she will require Farah to write an introduction: Nadia clearly says Farah does not need to write one.
Correct Answer: signs of use and uncertainty can enrich the record
Passage Reference: Its stains and hurried handwriting are not defects we need to hide; they are evidence that someone used it.
Why this is correct: Across the whole message, Nadia values the card's stains and keeps the different lemon memories, openly labelled. Both show she thinks use and uncertainty make the record richer.
Tips: Combine the card's appearance with how she handles disagreement.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a recipe is authentic only when relatives agree: She preserves conflicting memories.
- only neat documents should enter the collection: She specifically wants the stained original.
- precise timing matters more than personal memory: She treats the sensory instruction as meaningful.
Correct Answer: Farah shares knowledge; Nadia helps readers follow it
Passage Reference: Your contribution is knowing why the card matters. Mine is helping shape the material so other relatives can follow it.
Why this is correct: Farah knows why the card matters. Nadia helps shape the material so relatives can follow it.
Tips: Use the two sentences that name each person's contribution.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Farah gives exact times; Nadia edits ingredients: They refuse to invent a time, and no ingredient editing role is assigned.
- Farah picks one recipe; Nadia records conflicts: Neither person chooses an official recipe. They keep the differences openly.
- Farah explains; Nadia decides which account is true: Nadia will present both memories rather than decide which is true.
Correct Answer: family evidence and differing memories
Passage Reference: I want to collect the notes, memories, and small differences that show how our family actually cooks.
Why this is correct: Farah now understands that notes, memories, and small differences belong in the collection.
Tips: Find where Nadia says what she wants to collect. Pick the option that means the same thing.
Why the other options are wrong:
- one approved version of each dish: She clearly rejects one official version.
- only recipes with exact measurements: Nadia values a card with no exact cooking time.
- professional intros from every relative: Farah can contribute through a recorded conversation.
Correct Answer: a reason to reject the card
Passage Reference: When you said at lunch that you had nothing useful for the family recipe project
Why this is correct: Farah first saw the incomplete card as useless, while Nadia sees historical meaning in it.
Tips: The contrast after but you see it as shows Farah's earlier negative view.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a gap to label rather than guess: Nadia sees the sensory phrase as useful evidence, not merely a missing detail.
- a weakness to hide in the caption: Nadia wants to preserve rather than hide the imperfect instructions.
- a clue that the recipe was never used: The stains and hurried writing support the opposite conclusion.
Correct Answer: the disagreement itself is part of the family story
Passage Reference: The disagreement is part of the family story.
Why this is correct: Keeping both accounts honestly records the family's different memories.
Tips: A collection can preserve uncertainty without choosing a winner.
Why the other options are wrong:
- both relatives describe an identical habit: One remembers occasional lemon and the other remembers it always present.
- one memory can quietly replace the other: Nadia proposes placing both beside the card.
- the card clearly settles the question: The card does not mention lemon at all.
Correct Answer: you will prepare a caption for me to check
Passage Reference: turn that conversation into a short caption for you to check
Why this is correct: Nadia handles the first written version while Farah checks that it reflects her contribution.
Tips: Find where Nadia writes about recording a conversation. Compare her words with each option, one by one.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Uncle Tariq will decide which details stay: He offers one memory but receives no editing authority.
- the recording will replace the card itself: The scanned card and conversation will appear together.
- I must write an introduction before speaking: Nadia says no written introduction is required.
Correct Answer: was used in real family cooking
Passage Reference: they are evidence that someone used it.
Why this is correct: The marks connect the physical card to everyday cooking rather than making it defective.
Tips: Interpret the stains as history, not damage to the project.
Why the other options are wrong:
- proves which lemon memory is correct: The stains do not settle the lemon disagreement.
- contains complete modern instructions: The cooking time is not exact.
- should be cleaned before it is scanned: Nadia says the stains should not be hidden.
