Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Making an inference while reading a fiction extract means:

  1. Copying a sentence from the extract without changing it
  2. Working out something the writer implies from clues in the text
  3. Counting how often a particular word appears
  4. Deciding whether you enjoyed the story
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BWorking out something the writer implies from clues in the text
Award 1 mark. An inference is a reasoned conclusion built on evidence in the passage, which is what separates it from a guess.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

When a question asks you to support a point with evidence from the extract, the most secure method is to:

  1. Give an example from a different novel you have read
  2. Summarise the whole story in your own words
  3. State your personal opinion as firmly as possible
  4. Quote a short phrase copied exactly from the extract
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DQuote a short phrase copied exactly from the extract
Award 1 mark. A short, precisely chosen quotation anchors the point in the text; a long copied chunk wastes time and a personal opinion carries no textual authority.
