A.I. Explanation:

Question Focus: Identify what needs to be installed - noun from the requirements list

Correct Answer: software

Passage Reference: Internet access, MSN Messenger and NetMeeting conferencing software installed

Why this is correct: The notes say you need to install two pieces of something. In the passage, both MSN Messenger and NetMeeting conferencing software are listed, so the shared category is software.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write programs or applications, but those words are not used in the passage. You must copy the exact word from the text. This is a synonym trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'MSN Messenger and NetMeeting conferencing software' = Summary: 'two pieces of ___'

Tips: When a summary groups several items together, look for the category word used in the passage.

Key Vocabulary:

• software = computer programs

Question Focus: Identify the type of camera required

Correct Answer: standard

Passage Reference: Purchase any H320 Standard camera such as a Logitech QuickCamWeb model. Note most popular lower-priced cameras are H320s, more expensive ones are H323 standard.

Why this is correct: The passage explains that cameras follow a standard, either H320 or H323. The summary shortens this to 'H320 or H323 ___ camera', so standard completes the meaning.

Common Mistake: Some students write model or camera, but those repeat words already in the sentence. The missing idea is the type, which is standard. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'H320 Standard camera' = Summary: 'H320 or H323 ___ camera'

Tips: Check whether the gap needs a noun or adjective by looking at the word after the gap.

Key Vocabulary:

• standard = official type

Question Focus: Where the software is downloaded to

Correct Answer: hard drive

Passage Reference: Download the program to your hard drive

Why this is correct: The passage clearly says you should download the program to your hard drive. The summary paraphrases this as 'to your computer's ___'.

Common Mistake: Students may write computer or desktop, but the passage is specific. This is a paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'to your hard drive' = Summary: 'to your computer's ___'

Tips: When the passage gives a very specific noun, copy it exactly.

Key Vocabulary:

• hard drive = main storage

Question Focus: What the uni.edu email address should be used for

Correct Answer: microsoft passport

Passage Reference: We recommend using your uniqname@uni.edu mail address as a standard so others in our community can easily locate you.

Why this is correct: The passage recommends using your uni.edu address when setting up a Microsoft Passport so others can find you easily. That is exactly what the summary refers to.

Common Mistake: Writing email account is tempting, but the passage links the address specifically to Microsoft Passport. This is a context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'using your uniqname@uni.edu mail address' = Summary: 'use your uni.edu email address for your ___'

Tips: Look carefully at what the email address is used for, not just that it exists.

Key Vocabulary:

• passport = online ID account

Question Focus: Action required before using the passport

Correct Answer: reply

Passage Reference: You will need to reply to the passport confirmation email before you can use the service. This is usually sent to your email account immediately.

Why this is correct: The passage states you must reply to the passport confirmation email before using the service. The summary shortens this to 'you will need to ___ to an email'.

Common Mistake: Some students write confirm or respond, but these words are not in the passage. This is a synonym trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'reply to the passport confirmation email' = Summary: '___ to an email you'll receive'

Tips: After 'to', always check that your answer is a verb in the correct form.

Key Vocabulary:

• confirmation = official approval

Question Focus: Information needed to add a contact

Correct Answer: passport email

Passage Reference: You will need to know their passport email address

Why this is correct: The passage clearly says you need to know the other person's passport email address. The summary removes 'address' but keeps the key phrase.

Common Mistake: Writing email address is too general and misses the word passport. This is a partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'passport email address' = Summary: 'the person's ___ address'

Tips: Do not drop important identifying words when copying from the passage.

Key Vocabulary:

• contact = person you connect with

Question Focus: Where to find the add contacts command

Correct Answer: toolbar

Passage Reference: Click on Messenger's Add Contacts link on the toolbar.

Why this is correct: The passage explains that the Add Contacts link is found on the toolbar. The summary asks where you can find this command.

Common Mistake: Students may write window or Messenger, but those are mentioned elsewhere. The exact location is toolbar. This is a wrong section trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'on the toolbar' = Summary: 'on the ___'

Tips: Short location gaps often repeat a single noun exactly from the passage.

Key Vocabulary:

• toolbar = menu strip

General Tips:

• Summary completion questions follow passage order. Use the previous answer to help you find the next one quickly.
• Always copy the exact word from the passage. Do not use your own synonym.
• Check grammar clues around the gap, such as articles, prepositions, or verb patterns.
• Count your words carefully. Exceeding the word limit gives you zero marks.
