Question Focus: The diagram shows an area of the stadium design and asks what feature was used to reduce energy costs in public areas.
Correct Answer: E
Passage Reference: In order to reduce energy' costs, the design allowed for natural lighting in as many public areas as possible, supplemented by solar-powered units.
Why this is correct: The diagram sentence is about saving energy in public areas. The passage clearly says the design allowed for natural lighting in as many public areas as possible, so the answer is natural lighting.
Common Mistake: Some students choose solar-powered units because they also relate to energy. But solar-powered units are extra support, not the main feature in public areas. This is a context shift trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'natural lighting in as many public areas as possible' = Diagram: 'energy-saving feature in public areas'
Tips: When two options are both about energy, check which one the sentence focuses on first.
Key Vocabulary:
- supplemented = added to
- public areas = shared spaces
Question Focus: The diagram shows a comparison between two ventilation systems and asks which one was avoided.
Correct Answer: C
Passage Reference: Wherever possible, passive ventilation was used instead of mechanical air- conditioning.
Why this is correct: The diagram is asking which system was not preferred. The passage says passive ventilation was used instead of mechanical air- conditioning, so the avoided system is mechanical air- conditioning.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose natural lighting because it sounds environmentally friendly. But this sentence is about ventilation, not lighting. This is a wrong section trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'instead of mechanical air- conditioning' = Diagram: 'system not used'
Tips: Watch for phrases like 'instead of' because they signal contrast and help you choose the correct label.
Key Vocabulary:
- passive = using natural processes
- ventilation = movement of air
Question Focus: The diagram shows water collection and asks what type of water was collected.
Correct Answer: F
Passage Reference: Stormwater run-off was collected for toilet flushing.
Why this is correct: The diagram label refers to collected water. The passage clearly states that storm water run-off was collected, so the answer is storm water.
Common Mistake: Some students pick rainwater because it is mentioned earlier. But rainwater is used for pitch irrigation, not this part. This is a context shift trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'Stormwater run-off was collected' = Diagram: 'type of collected water'
Tips: If water is mentioned more than once, match each use carefully to the correct purpose.
Key Vocabulary:
- run-off = water that flows away
- stormwater = rain after storms
Question Focus: The diagram shows what the collected water was used for.
Correct Answer: D
Passage Reference: Stormwater run-off was collected for toilet flushing.
Why this is correct: The diagram asks about the purpose of the collected water. The passage directly says it was used for toilet flushing, so the answer is flushing.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose pitch irrigation because it is another water use. But that use is for rainwater from the roof, not stormwater. This is a partial truth trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'for toilet flushing' = Diagram: 'used for ___'
Tips: Always link the water source and the water use together before choosing an answer.
Key Vocabulary:
- flushing = cleaning toilets with water
- irrigation = watering land
Question Focus: The diagram shows where roof water was directed and asks its final use.
Correct Answer: G
Passage Reference: Rainwater collected from the roof ran off into storage- ranks, where it could be tapped for pitch irrigation.
Why this is correct: The diagram refers to rainwater from the roof. The passage explains it was stored and then used for pitch irrigation, so that is the correct answer.
Common Mistake: Some students choose flushing because it also involves water. But flushing uses stormwater, not roof rainwater. This is a wrong section trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'rainwater ... for pitch irrigation' = Diagram: 'roof water used for ___'
Tips: Follow the process step by step. Roof water and stormwater are treated differently.
Key Vocabulary:
- pitch = sports field
- irrigation = watering
General Tips:
- Diagram questions usually follow the same order as the passage. Read from top to bottom.
- Look for exact nouns in the passage that match the diagram labels.
- If similar options appear, check the water source, energy source, or system carefully.
- Cross out each option after you use it so you do not reuse it by mistake.
