Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A passage states: 'The fishermen returned to shore earlier than usual, their nets barely filled.' What can be most reasonably inferred from this sentence?

  1. The fishermen were tired and decided to rest early
  2. The fishermen sold all their fish at sea
  3. The fish population in the area may have declined
  4. The fishermen forgot to bring enough nets
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — The fish population in the area may have declined
The detail that the nets were 'barely filled' implies a scarcity of fish, suggesting a possible decline in fish population. Option A assumes tiredness without textual evidence. Option C contradicts the detail about nets being barely filled. Option D introduces information not implied anywhere in the sentence.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

Read the following extract: 'Despite the bright posters and cheerful music, Maya gripped her handbag tightly as she walked through the market.' What does Maya's action most likely imply about her feelings?

  1. She is excited and eager to shop at the market
  2. She is nervous or feels unsafe in the market
  3. She is tired from walking a long distance
  4. She is angry at the vendors in the market
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — She is nervous or feels unsafe in the market
Gripping one's handbag tightly is a universally recognised body language signal of anxiety or feeling unsafe, especially in a crowded place. The contrast between the cheerful setting and her tense action reinforces this inference. Option A contradicts the tension implied by her grip. Option C requires an assumption about anger not supported by the text. Option D is not connected to the physical gesture described.
