Question 6&7 (COMPREHENSION)

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
OBSERVATION

The passages were suitable, the subject matters were familiar and the choice of words were within the candidates’ capabilities.

In spite of these, many candidates had difficulties interpreting the requirements for questions 6(b), (c), (d) and (7b), (d) and (e).  For these questions, many candidates engaged in mindless lifting.

They attached unimaginable meanings to the words in the vocabulary tests 6(h) and 7(h) and gave synonyms that were not in any way related to the sense of the words.
