Correct Answer: its level path suits the younger children
Passage Reference: The path to that area is level, unlike the steeper route
Why this is correct: Noah reserved the covered viewing area for the group. He tells Sienna that the group includes several younger children and that the path to this area is level, not steep. So its level path suits the younger children.
Tips: Noah compares two routes in one sentence. Ask why that difference matters for this school group.
Why the other options are wrong:
- it offers a closer route to the hill area: The hill enclosure uses the steeper route. The covered area was chosen for its level path.
- it lets the whole class enter the enclosure: Visitors stay in the viewing area. Only trained staff may go near the enclosure.
- it is the only place where lunch may be eaten: Picnic tables are separate, so lunch access is not why this viewing area was chosen.
Correct Answer: asking the keeper questions after her talk
Passage Reference: Children are welcome to ask questions after the talk.
Why this is correct: Children may ask the keeper questions after the vulture talk.
Tips: Several activities are mentioned, but some are only for staff. Find the sentence that says what the pupils are welcome to do.
Why the other options are wrong:
- helping the keeper prepare food for the birds: The keeper prepares the birds' food. Students are not invited to help.
- watching teachers run a feeding display: There will be no public feeding activity.
- following the keeper into the enclosure: Only trained staff may approach the enclosure.
Correct Answer: so children can listen during the talk
Passage Reference: It will be easier for the children to listen if they do not try to copy every detail
Why this is correct: The fact sheet means children need not copy every detail and can listen.
Tips: Read what Noah says will be easier for the class. That explains why he offers to email the sheet.
Why the other options are wrong:
- so the class can replace the visit with writing: The fact sheet supports the same visit and report. It does not replace the trip.
- so the teacher can prepare the keeper's talk: The keeper already has a talk. The teacher is not asked to prepare it.
- so visitors can learn bird-feeding rules: Feeding rules are in the visit instructions. The sheet helps children listen instead of copying.
Correct Answer: the group must take away its rubbish
Passage Reference: provided you take all rubbish away
Why this is correct: Picnic-table use is allowed only if the group takes all rubbish away.
Tips: The word provided introduces the picnic-table condition.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the group must buy lunch from the cafe: The cafe is closed, so buying lunch there is impossible.
- the group must leave when the talk begins: Lunch can continue until noon after the visit ends at eleven.
- children must be under 25, with adults extra: The limit is twenty-five people in total, including adults, and that is a booking limit, not a picnic condition.
Correct Answer: send the final total of adults and children
Passage Reference: Please send me the final number of adults and children by Monday.
Why this is correct: Noah asks for the final adult and child count by Monday.
Tips: Separate what is already confirmed from the one detail Noah still needs.
Why the other options are wrong:
- request a new date because nothing is confirmed: The visit date is already confirmed.
- choose between a talk and a public feeding: No public feeding session is offered.
- reserve cafe meals for all helpers: The cafe is closed, so meals cannot be reserved there.
Correct Answer: the date is set, but final numbers are still needed
Passage Reference: visit to the wildlife centre is confirmed for Thursday, 14 May
Why this is correct: Noah's message opens by confirming the visit for Thursday, 14 May. It ends by asking for the final number of adults and children. Everything else is detail about the day. So the main point is that the date is set, but final numbers are still needed.
Tips: A main point question covers the whole message. Put together what Noah has already fixed and the one thing he still asks Sienna for.
Why the other options are wrong:
- the date waits on a lunch order: The visit is already confirmed, and visitors bring their own food.
- the viewing area needs the hill route: The covered area is reserved for its level path, not the hill route.
- the visit cannot go ahead while the cafe is closed: The closed cafe changes lunch plans but does not cancel the visit.
Correct Answer: ten o'clock
Passage Reference: Please arrive at ten for a short safety briefing.
Why this is correct: Arrival is at ten, before the 10:20 keeper talk.
Tips: Build the morning timeline: arrive at ten, talk at 10:20, visit ends at eleven.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 10:20: 10:20 is when the talk starts. The group must arrive earlier for the briefing.
- eleven o'clock: Eleven is the end of the visit, not the arrival time.
- noon: Noon is when picnic tables must be left, long after arrival.
Correct Answer: they stay in the viewing area without flash
Passage Reference: Photographs are permitted from the viewing area, but please switch off flash.
Why this is correct: Photography is allowed from the viewing area only with flash switched off.
Tips: Find where Noah writes about photographs. Read the whole sentence, then test each option against it.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a teacher takes them into the enclosure: Teachers and children must stay outside the enclosure.
- they photograph only a public feeding: There is no public feeding activity to photograph.
- they wait until the cafe opens: The cafe is closed all day, and that does not affect photo rules.
Correct Answer: bring our own water and packed lunches
Passage Reference: The cafe will be closed that day, so everyone should bring water and a packed lunch.
Why this is correct: The closed cafe means everyone must bring water and a packed lunch.
Tips: Find the sentence about the cafe. Read on to see what everyone has to do because of it.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ask the keeper to order food for us: The keeper is not arranging lunch.
- wait until the cafe reopens at eleven: The cafe does not reopen at eleven. Eleven is when the wildlife visit ends.
- use picnic tables only after buying a drink: Table use requires removing rubbish, not buying a drink.
Correct Answer: noon
Passage Reference: use the picnic tables until noon
Why this is correct: The group may use the picnic tables until noon.
Tips: Two times are close together here. Match the blank to the time for leaving the picnic tables, not the end of the visit.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ten o'clock: Ten is the arrival time for the briefing, not the end of lunch.
- one o'clock: Tables are available only until noon.
- 10:20: 10:20 is the start of the talk, not the picnic deadline.
Correct Answer: have reached the maximum number allowed
Passage Reference: maximum of twenty-five people, including teachers and helpers
Why this is correct: Twenty-one children plus four adults equals the stated maximum of twenty-five people.
Tips: Add children and adults, then compare the total with the limit that includes helpers.
Why the other options are wrong:
- can add four children because adults do not count: Adults are included in the limit, so the class cannot add four more children.
- need to cancel because the group is too large: Twenty-one plus four equals twenty-five, so the group is not over the limit.
- must leave one place free for the keeper: The maximum already includes teachers and helpers. No extra place is kept for the keeper.
