Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student wrote: 'The old wooden chattel house stood at the corner of the village, its faded blue paint peeling like sunburnt skin.' Which literary device is used in the phrase 'peeling like sunburnt skin'?

  1. Metaphor
  2. Simile
  3. Personification
  4. Alliteration
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BSimile
Award 1 mark. Similes compare two unlike things using 'like' or 'as'. Metaphor is not the answer, because a metaphor states that one thing is another without such a signal word. Personification is not the answer either, since that gives human qualities to something non-human. Alliteration is different again, depending on the repetition of consonant sounds.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

  1. headings
  2. characters
  3. captions
  4. footnotes

CXC CSEC English A (English Language): Imaginative Writing FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for English Language?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Imaginative Writing practice with other English Language topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Imaginative Writing questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC English Language syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC English Language specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Imaginative Writing typically tested on CXC CSEC English Language papers?
Imaginative Writing appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC English Language papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
