QUESTIONS 1-8 (Passage 1: Alexander Henderson) - True/False/Not Given

📝 Question 1:

Henderson rarely visited the area around Press estate when he was younger.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage states that Henderson "spent much of his childhood in the area, playing on the beach... or fishing in the streams." This directly contradicts the statement that he "rarely visited."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Overlooking the phrase "much of his childhood" which shows frequent visits.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for qualifying words (e.g., rarely, much, always) as they often contain the key to True/False/Not Given answers.

📝 Question 2:

Henderson pursued a business career because it was what his family wanted.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text says: "Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it to please his family." This confirms that the desire of his family was his motivation.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the fact that he "never liked" the career rather than the reason for pursuing it.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words explaining motive or reason ("to please his family"). This often provides a direct match for the question's premise.

📝 Question 3:

Henderson and Notman were surprised by the results of their 1865 experiment.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage confirms the **experiment** took place in 1865. However, it provides no information about their reaction to the results, specifically whether they were "surprised" or not.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Assuming a reaction simply because an experiment is mentioned.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The statement is **NOT GIVEN** if the element of comparison or the emotional/judgmental detail is missing, even if the surrounding facts are present.

📝 Question 4:

There were many similarities between Henderson’s early landscapes and those of Notman.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 3.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text explicitly states: "their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman’s landscapes were noted for their bold realism, Henderson... produced romantic images..." This direct contrast proves the statement about "many similarities" is false.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The mention of their "friendship" might mislead the reader into expecting similar styles.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words of contrast (e.g., different, while, contrastingly) in comparative statements.

📝 Question 5:

The studio that Henderson opened in 1866 was close to his home.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text confirms he opened a photographic studio in 1866. However, it gives no information regarding the location of the studio, specifically its proximity to his home.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing only on the date and event, missing the critical geographical detail.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The statement is **NOT GIVEN** because the detail about the relative location ("close to his home") is entirely absent.

📝 Question 6:

Henderson gave up portraiture so that he could focus on taking photographs of scenery.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states: "From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views." "Landscape photography" is the synonym for "photographs of scenery," confirming his choice to focus on it.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Missing the word "specialize," which indicates focusing on one area over the other.
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Dropped X to specialize in Y" is definitive proof for the statement's premise.

📝 Question 7:

When Henderson began work for the Intercolonial Railway, the Montreal to Halifax line had been finished.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5 (The 1875 commission).
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: He was commissioned in 1875 to record structures along the "almost-completed line." The phrase "almost-completed" means it was not finished (i.e., not "had been finished"), contradicting the statement.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the work with the *finished* railway or overlooking the subtle but crucial detail of "almost-completed."
⭐ Key Learning Point: Adverbs of degree (e.g., almost) are vital when checking questions about completion or quantity.

📝 Question 8:

Henderson’s last work as a photographer was with the Canadian Pacific Railway.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: He took a post with the CPR in 1892 and "continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography." Since he retired immediately after this post, it was his last work.
⚠️ Potential Traps: The question asks for his "last work," and the text confirms he retired "completely from photography" after the CPR post.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for concluding phrases like "retired completely from X" to confirm a final act.

QUESTIONS 9-13 (Passage 1: Alexander Henderson) - Notes Completion

📝 Question 9:

Alexander Henderson Early life: was born in Scotland in 1831 – father was a 9...

🔹 Correct Answer: merchant
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The first sentence states he was "the son of a successful merchant." This directly identifies his father's profession.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "successful" which is an adjective and not the profession.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The question asks for a noun describing a person's role, which is the word "merchant."

📝 Question 10:

Alexander Henderson Start of a photographic career: people bought Henderson’s photos because photography took up considerable time and the 10... was heavy.

🔹 Correct Answer: equipment
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text mentions "the time-consuming techniques involved and the weight of equipment." "Weight" is the synonym for "heavy," confirming equipment as the answer.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "techniques" or "time," which are the other two factors mentioned in the list.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The structure "the [adjective] of X" (the weight of equipment) is often a hint for the missing noun.

📝 Question 11:

Alexander Henderson Start of a photographic career: the photographs Henderson sold were 11... or souvenirs

🔹 Correct Answer: gifts
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states people bought them "as souvenirs of a trip or as gifts." Gifts is the other category in the pair.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using a word like "albums" or "framing," which describe the *presentation*, not the reason for purchase.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the noun that appears in the same list as the known term ("souvenirs") to complete the list.

📝 Question 12:

Alexander Henderson Travelling as a professional photographer: took many trips along eastern rivers in a 12...

🔹 Correct Answer: canoe
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text confirms his mode of transport for river trips: "he often travelled by canoe on the Blanche, du Lièvre, and other noted eastern rivers."

Alexander Henderson Travelling as a professional photographer: worked for CPR in 1885 and photographed the 13... and the railway at Rogers Pass

🔹 Correct Answer: mountains
📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5 (The 1885 trip).
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states he "took photographs of the mountains and the progress of construction." The progress of construction is the synonym for "the railway."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "progress of construction" instead of the paired subject ("mountains").
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the second object of the verb "took photographs of."

QUESTIONS 14-18 (Passage 2: The Logic of Building) - Matching Information

📝 Question 14:

why some people avoided hospitals in the 19th century

🔹 Correct Answer: F
📍 Location in Passage: Section F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section F explains the fear of "miasmas – toxic air that spread disease" and notes that "The prosperous steered clear of hospitals." This identifies the reason for avoidance (fear of bad air/disease).
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing the reason for avoiding them with the hospital ventilation research itself (Sections D/E).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for verbs like "avoided" (synonym: "steered clear") and the reason (miasmas).

📝 Question 15:

a suggestion that the popularity of tall buildings is linked to prestige

🔹 Correct Answer: C
📍 Location in Passage: Section C.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section C features Prof. Short’s view that skyscrapers are "symbols of status, rather than practical ways of meeting our requirements." "Symbols of status" is the synonym for prestige.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Thinking of the problems of modern buildings (Section B) rather than the underlying *motivation* for building them.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words of judgment or opinion concerning value ("status," "practical") to find the core suggestion.

📝 Question 16:

a comparison between the circulation of air in a 19th-century building and modern standards

🔹 Correct Answer: E
📍 Location in Passage: Section E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section E states that 19th-century hospital wards had an air change rate "similar to the performance of a modern-day, computer-controlled operating theatre." This is a direct comparison to modern standards.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Mistaking the comparison with modern technology for the description of the testing method (Section D).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the use of comparative language ("similar to") that connects a historical element to a modern one.

📝 Question 17:

how Short tested the circulation of air in a 19th-century building

🔹 Correct Answer: D
📍 Location in Passage: Section D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section D describes the method: "‘We spent three years digitally modelling Billings’ final designs,’ says Short. ‘We put pathogens in the airstreams, modelled for someone with tuberculosis..." This explains the process he used.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing only on the result (safety) and not the method (digital modelling, putting pathogens in the airstreams).
⭐ Key Learning Point: The question asks "how," so look for verbs describing the methodology (e.g., "digitally modelling," "put... in the airstreams").

📝 Question 18:

an implication that advertising led to the large increase in the use of air conditioning

🔹 Correct Answer: B
📍 Location in Passage: Section B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section B states that air conditioning units were "relentlessly and aggressively marketed" by their inventors. The use of this strong language *implies* that the advertising campaign (marketing) was a major factor in the large increase in use.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Missing the *implication* and looking for a direct statement of cause and effect.
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for strong adverbs or adjectives ("aggressively," "relentlessly") used in connection with a commercial activity (marketing/advertising).

QUESTIONS 19-26 (Passage 2: The Logic of Building) - Summary Completion

📝 Question 19:

Professor Alan Short examined the work of John Shaw Billings, who influenced the architectural 19... of hospitals to ensure they had good ventilation.

🔹 Correct Answer: designs
📍 Location in Passage: Section D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text mentions that Short spent three years digitally modelling Billings' final "designs." These architectural plans were clearly intended to improve ventilation.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "architecture" (too general) or "ventilation" (already in the sentence).
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Architectural" is an adjective for the noun "designs."

📝 Question 20:

He calculated that 20... in the air coming from patients suffering from 21... would not have harmed other patients.

🔹 Correct Answer: pathogens
📍 Location in Passage: Section D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The process involved putting "pathogens in the airstreams" to test the system. Pathogens are the harmful element in the air.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "airstreams" which is the location, not the substance.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word must be a noun that can travel in the air and cause harm ("pathogens").

📝 Question 21:

He calculated that 20... in the air coming from patients suffering from 21... would not have harmed other patients.

🔹 Correct Answer: tuberculosis
📍 Location in Passage: Section D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The research "modelled for someone with tuberculosis (TB) coughing in the wards." Tuberculosis is the specific disease used in the simulation.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "TB" when the question does not allow acronyms, or "coughing" which is an action.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The question asks for an illness, which is the full word "tuberculosis."

📝 Question 22:

He also found that the air in 22... in hospitals could change as often as in a modern operating theatre.

🔹 Correct Answer: wards
📍 Location in Passage: Section E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The comparison is made by saying "19th-century hospital wards could generate up to 24 air changes an hour." Wards are the specific areas in the hospital being discussed.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "rooms" or "theatre" which are other nouns in the sentence.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The location that is subject to the air change comparison is the wards.

📝 Question 23:

He suggests that energy use could be reduced by locating more patients in 23... areas.

🔹 Correct Answer: communal
📍 Location in Passage: Section E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Short suggests "Communal wards... would work just as well in today’s hospitals, at a fraction of the energy cost." "Communal" describes the type of area.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "wards," which is already covered by "areas" or is less precise than "communal."
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "communal" is used as an adjective describing the type of area where energy is saved.

📝 Question 24:

A major reason for improving ventilation in 19th-century hospitals was the demand from the 24... for protection against bad air, known as 25...

🔹 Correct Answer: public
📍 Location in Passage: Section F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section F states the ingenuity was "driven by a panicked public clamouring for buildings that could protect against... miasmas." The public was the source of the demand.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "panicked" (adjective) or "miasmas" (the air, not the demanding group).
⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the group of people that was "clamouring" (synonym for "demand").

📝 Question 25:

A major reason for improving ventilation in 19th-century hospitals was the demand from the 24... for protection against bad air, known as 25...

🔹 Correct Answer: miasmas
📍 Location in Passage: Section F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage explicitly identifies the bad air: "protect against what was thought to be the lethal threat of miasmas – toxic air that spread disease."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "toxic air" which is the description, not the specific term asked for.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "known as X" directly calls for the specific proper noun, which is miasmas.

📝 Question 26:

These were blamed for the spread of disease for hundreds of years, including epidemics of 26... in London and Paris in the middle of the 19th century.

🔹 Correct Answer: cholera
📍 Location in Passage: Section F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Miasmas were used to explain the spread of infection "right through to the cholera outbreaks in London and Paris during the 1850s." Cholera is the specific epidemic mentioned.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "epidemics" or "outbreaks" which are general terms.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The question asks for a disease, which is cholera.

QUESTIONS 27-34 (Passage 3: Why Companies Should Welcome Disorder) - Matching Headings

📝 Question 27:

Section A

🔹 Correct Answer: vi (What people are increasingly expected to do)
📍 Location in Passage: Section A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section A focuses on the constant demand for **strategies for time management, project management and self-organisation**. The phrase "We are told that we ought to organize" confirms this is about expectations.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Misunderstanding the general focus on organization as the main point; the key is that it is a *demand* or *expectation*.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The theme of "ought to organize" encapsulates the increasing expectation being placed on individuals.

📝 Question 28:

Section B

🔹 Correct Answer: i (Complaints about the impact of a certain approach)
📍 Location in Passage: Section B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: This section lists several negative impacts (complaints): the increase in "businesses that fail," increased "Work-related stress," and worker dissatisfaction with how their "work is structured."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the perfectionist argument and missing the list of general dissatisfaction.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The negative results (failure, stress, dissatisfaction) are the embodiment of complaints about the approach.

📝 Question 29:

Section C

🔹 Correct Answer: iii (Early recommendations concerning business activities)
📍 Location in Passage: Section C.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section C introduces Frederick Taylor (early 20th century) who "designed a number of principles to improve the efficiency of the work process." These are the early recommendations.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Confusing Taylor's principles (early) with the modern application of the ideas.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The mention of "forefathers" and "first half of the 20th century" confirms the theme of "early recommendations."

📝 Question 30:

Section D

🔹 Correct Answer: ii (Fundamental beliefs that are in fact incorrect)
📍 Location in Passage: Section D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section D directly challenges the core belief that "order is a necessary condition for productivity," labeling this obsession as "misguided." This indicates the belief is fundamentally incorrect.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Choosing the heading that discusses order's *usefulness* (Section E) instead of the heading that questions the *belief itself*.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word "misguided" is the clearest synonym for "in fact incorrect."

📝 Question 31:

Section E

🔹 Correct Answer: ix (Evidence that a certain approach can have more disadvantages than advantages)
📍 Location in Passage: Section E.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: This section explains that organization "reduces until the point where any further increase in order reduces productivity." This concept of diminishing utility and negative effects outweighs the initial benefits.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Misinterpreting the graph analogy, but the text is clear that *excessive* order reduces productivity.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The discussion of **diminishing** usefulness followed by an actual **reduction** in productivity confirms the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

📝 Question 32:

Section F

🔹 Correct Answer: vii (How to achieve outcomes that are currently impossible)
📍 Location in Passage: Section F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section F argues that unstructured environments "can lead to new solutions that, under conventionally structured environments... would never be reached." These unattainable solutions are the "outcomes that are currently impossible."
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the lack of structure and hierarchy instead of the radical positive *result* of that approach.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The phrase "would never be reached" is the critical clue for "currently impossible" outcomes.

📝 Question 33:

Section G

🔹 Correct Answer: iv (Organisations that put a new approach into practice)
📍 Location in Passage: Section G.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Section G provides the examples of **Oticon** and **General Electric**, detailing how they adopted the new "spaghetti" and "boundary-less" structures. These are organizations implementing the new approach.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on the structure's name ("spaghetti") rather than the companies that demonstrate it.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The mention of company names and descriptions of their structural changes confirms this heading.

📝 Question 34:

Section H

🔹 Correct Answer: viii (Neither approach guarantees continuous improvement)
📍 Location in Passage: Section H.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The final section cautions that "disorder, much like order, also seems to have diminishing utility, and can also have detrimental effects." This warning against excessive use of either approach means neither can guarantee perpetual (continuous) improvement.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Interpreting the section as a complete dismissal of disorder, instead of a balanced caution against relying solely on one extreme.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The comparative warning against both order and disorder is the central theme of this concluding paragraph.

QUESTIONS 35-37 (Passage 3: Why Companies Should Welcome Disorder) - Summary Completion

📝 Question 35:

Numerous training sessions are aimed at people who feel they are not 35...

🔹 Correct Answer: productive
📍 Location in Passage: Section A.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The training sessions are held to tell people how to become "more productive." Therefore, those who attend feel they are not productive enough.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "organized" or "efficient," which are methods, not the desired goal.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The stated goal of the workshops is the key to completing the sentence: to become productive.

📝 Question 36:

Being organised appeals to people who regard themselves as 36...

🔹 Correct Answer: perfectionists
📍 Location in Passage: Section B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The rhetoric of organization appeals to the "delight of self-proclaimed perfectionists with the need to get everything right." This identifies the group of people.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "self-proclaimed" which is an adjective/adverb.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The word that follows the descriptive phrase "self-proclaimed" is the noun required: perfectionists.

📝 Question 37:

Many people feel dissatisfied with aspects of their 37...

🔹 Correct Answer: work
📍 Location in Passage: Section B.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: A "large proportion of workers... claim to be dissatisfied with the way their work is structured and the way they are managed." This refers to their job.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "structure" or "management," which are the *aspects* of the work, not the overall entity.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The dissatisfaction concerns the general work environment and its structure.

QUESTIONS 38-40 (Passage 3: Why Companies Should Welcome Disorder) - True/False/Not Given

📝 Question 38:

Both businesses and people aim at order without really considering its value.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE
📍 Location in Passage: Section D.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states that "businesses and people spend time and money organising themselves for the sake of organising, rather than actually looking at the end goal and usefulness..." This confirms they do not consider its value.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Thinking of "value" only in monetary terms when "usefulness" is the synonym here.
⭐ Key Learning Point: "For the sake of organising" is the key phrase that demonstrates the lack of consideration for its value.

📝 Question 39:

Innovation is most successful if the people involved have distinct roles.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE
📍 Location in Passage: Section F.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Research shows the best approach is to create an environment "devoid of structure and hierarchy and enable everyone involved to engage as one organic group." This directly contradicts the idea of distinct (rigid) roles.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Focusing on "successful" and not the *condition* for success ("distinct roles" vs. "one organic group").
⭐ Key Learning Point: "Devoid of structure and hierarchy" is the opposite of requiring distinct roles.

📝 Question 40:

Google was inspired to adopt flexibility by the success of General Electric.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN
📍 Location in Passage: Section G.
🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage mentions both companies as examples of flexible structures. However, it does not state or imply any cause-and-effect relationship where Google was inspired by General Electric.
⚠️ Potential Traps: Assuming the connection because they are mentioned in the same section as successful examples.
⭐ Key Learning Point: The relationship of inspiration/influence is a specific detail that must be present for the statement to be TRUE or FALSE.
