Question Focus: The diagram starts with what material enters the factory at the beginning of the process.
Correct Answer: B
Passage Reference: To become chocolate, cacao seeds go through a long production process in a factory. Workers must sort, clean and cook the seeds.
Why this is correct: The diagram shows the first stage of chocolate making. The passage clearly says the process begins with cacao seeds, which are sorted, cleaned and cooked. So the answer is seeds.
Common Mistake: Some students choose cacao crops because it sounds similar. But crops are the plants in the field, not what goes into the factory. This is a context shift trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'cacao seeds' = Diagram: 'seeds'
Tips: For the first diagram label, always look at the very beginning of the passage.
Key Vocabulary:
- cacao = chocolate plant
- process = series of steps
Question Focus: The diagram shows something being removed from the seeds.
Correct Answer: E
Passage Reference: Then they break off the covering of the seeds so that only the inside fruit, or nibs, remain.
Why this is correct: The diagram shows a layer being taken away. The passage says workers break off the covering so only the inside remains. That tells us the answer is covering.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose butter because fat is mentioned later. But nothing about butter is removed at this stage. This is a wrong section trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'break off the covering' = Diagram: 'covering'
Tips: If the diagram shows something being removed, look for verbs like remove, break off, or separate.
Key Vocabulary:
- covering = outer layer
- remain = stay
Question Focus: The diagram shows what the nibs are crushed into.
Correct Answer: G
Passage Reference: Workers crush the nibs into a soft substance called chocolate liquor.
Why this is correct: The diagram sentence asks what the nibs become after crushing. The passage tells us they are crushed into a soft substance called chocolate liquor. So the answer is chocolate liquor.
Common Mistake: Many students pick chocolate because it sounds final. But this stage is not finished chocolate yet. This is a partial truth trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'crushed into a soft substance called chocolate liquor' = Diagram: 'chocolate liquor'
Tips: Watch out for process words like first, then, after. They show the order.
Key Vocabulary:
- nibs = inside of the seed
- liquor = thick liquid
Question Focus: The diagram shows what one part of the liquor is separated into.
Correct Answer: I
Passage Reference: This gets separated into cocoa solids and fat called cocoa butter.
Why this is correct: The diagram asks for one result of separation. The passage explains the liquor is separated into solids and fat called cocoa butter, which matches cocoa fat.
Common Mistake: Some students choose butter because the passage says butter. But the option cocoa fat means the same thing here. Choosing butter would be a synonym match confusion.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'fat called cocoa butter' = Diagram: 'cocoa fat'
Tips: In diagrams, the option may paraphrase the passage, not copy the exact words.
Key Vocabulary:
- separate = divide
- fat = oily part
Question Focus: The diagram shows the final shape container for the mixture.
Correct Answer: C
Passage Reference: before it is shaped into a mold form.
Why this is correct: The diagram shows the final step where chocolate gets its shape. The passage says it is shaped into a mold form, so the answer is mold.
Common Mistake: Students sometimes choose chocolate because it is the end product. But the diagram blank asks for the container, not the product. This is a context shift trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'mold form' = Diagram: 'mold'
Tips: Check if the diagram blank wants an object, a material, or a result.
Key Vocabulary:
- mold = shape container
- form = shape
Question Focus: The diagram shows the final product after all processes.
Correct Answer: F
Passage Reference: To become chocolate, cacao seeds go through a long production process in a factory. Workers must sort, clean and cook the seeds. Then they break off the covering of the seeds so that only the inside fruit, or nibs, remain. Workers crush the nibs into a soft substance called chocolate liquor. This gets separated into cocoa solids and fat called cocoa butter. Chocolate makers have their own special recipes in which they combine chocolate liquor with exact amounts of sugar, milk and cocoa fat. They finely crush this 'crumb' mixture in order to make it smooth. The mixture then goes through two more processes before it is shaped into a mold form.
Why this is correct: The diagram ends with the finished product. The whole passage describes how cacao seeds become chocolate, so the final label is chocolate.
Common Mistake: Some students stop at crumb because it sounds finished. But the passage says the crumb still goes through more processes. This is a time/tense trap.
Paraphrasing: Passage: 'become chocolate' = Diagram: 'chocolate'
Tips: The last diagram label usually matches the overall topic of the passage.
Key Vocabulary:
- final = last
- product = finished thing
General Tips:
- Diagram labels usually follow the same order as the passage. Read from top to bottom.
- Always read the sentence around the diagram blank so you know what type of word you need.
- Cross out options as you use them so you do not reuse the same word.
- If two options look similar, go back to the exact passage sentence and check meaning, not just words.
