پالت ناوبری سوالات

📌 بخش ۱: تحلیل سوالات ۱ تا ۱۴ (Matching Information & True/False/Not Given)

Matching Information (Questions 1–8)

📝 Question 1: Visitors can help to make one particular event a success at this festival.

🔹 Correct Answer: G

📍 Location in Passage: Section G. "...the festival promises toe-tapping action, including a world-record attempt, where everyone is invited to join in."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "everyone is invited to join in" for a "world-record attempt" directly indicates that the visitors' participation is needed to make the event happen and succeed, which is a paraphrase of the question's idea of "help to make one particular event a success."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might look for words like "help" or "success." The key is to understand the logical connection between "invited to join in" and contributing to the event's outcome.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Answers are based on logical inference and paraphrase. Look for text that implies the condition, not just text that states the exact words.

📝 Question 2: People can listen to local musicians here.

🔹 Correct Answer: D

📍 Location in Passage: Section D. "Wychwood Music Festival... offers a combination of different music genres - many featuring artists from around the Wychwood area..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "artists from around the Wychwood area" is a direct, clear paraphrase for "local musicians." The festival features these artists, and people can listen to them.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Section A mentions "world-class musicians." Section D is the only one that specifies the geographic origin of some of the performers as "around the Wychwood area."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Scan for specific qualifiers. The word "local" (paraphrased as "from around the area") is the key distinction here.

📝 Question 3: At this festival, people can listen to music in lots of different places.

🔹 Correct Answer: B

📍 Location in Passage: Section B. "...more than 300 bands will perform to around 10,000 people in 30-plus venues..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "30-plus venues" clearly means there are "lots of different places" for the bands to perform and for people to listen to music.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Section A mentions different genres, but not the number of locations. The key is to match the idea of place ("different places") with the word "venues."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match the quantity concept in the question ("lots of different places") with the specific number/description in the text ("30-plus venues").

📝 Question 4: It is not necessary to pay for one of the events here.

🔹 Correct Answer: A

📍 Location in Passage: Section A. "Starting with a great night of free music, 'Party in the City' this year is going to be no exception."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The phrase "free music" directly means "It is not necessary to pay" for that specific event ('Party in the City').

⚠️ Potential Traps: This is a straightforward synonym match. The trap is missing the word "free" while scanning for other details.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for words that express cost or lack thereof, such as free, complementary, no charge, pay.

📝 Question 5: It is possible to stay overnight at this festival.

🔹 Correct Answer: F

📍 Location in Passage: Section F. "If you don't fancy taking a tent, some local residents usually offer to put visitors up."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: To "stay overnight" means to find accommodation. The phrase "put visitors up" is an idiomatic way of saying "to provide accommodation for someone," making it possible to stay overnight.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might look for "tent" or "accommodation." The phrasing "put visitors up" is a less common idiom/phrasal verb, designed to test vocabulary and contextual understanding.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be prepared for answers hidden in idiomatic expressions or less formal language.

📝 Question 6: Children will enjoy this festival.

🔹 Correct Answer: D

📍 Location in Passage: Section D. "Rightly nominated for the best family festival award every year since it began in 2005..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: A "family festival award" suggests that it is suitable for and enjoyed by families, which inherently includes children.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Section C mentions activities like "sheep herding." Section D is the strongest evidence as it explicitly uses the word "family" and an award for it.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The best evidence is the most explicit statement. An award for "family" suitability is stronger than a list of activities that could be for children.

📝 Question 7: Visitors can get advice here.

🔹 Correct Answer: E

📍 Location in Passage: Section E. "...this festival aims to educate visitors about how food should be produced and where it should come from..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The aim to "educate visitors" on a topic (food production/origin) is a paraphrase for providing them with information or "advice."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might look for the word "advice." The test-maker uses "educate" to test vocabulary.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Vocabulary is key. Understand that words like educate, instruct, inform often function as paraphrases for "give advice."

📝 Question 8: People can watch craftspeople at work here.

🔹 Correct Answer: C

📍 Location in Passage: Section C. "...Springwatch celebrates the countryside as it does every year, with sheep herding, wood carving demonstrations..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: A "wood carving demonstration" is an activity where a craftsperson (the carver) is clearly at work (giving a demonstration), which people can watch.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might only scan for words like "craftspeople" or "artisan." The specific activity, "wood carving," and the mode, "demonstrations," are the evidence.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Focus on action and subject. Look for the action (demonstration/work) and the subject (craft/craftspeople) in the text.

True/False/Not Given (Questions 9–14)

📝 Question 9: When climbing at the Big Rock Centre, it is compulsory to be attached by a rope.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Who is Big Rock for? "Or experience the thrills of climbing without any harness in our special low-level arena..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states you can climb "without any harness" in the low-level arena (a harness is necessary for a rope). The question states it is "compulsory." The text clearly provides an alternative where this is not required, thus contradicting the statement.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The text does mention climbing walls using a "rope harness." Failing to read the subsequent sentence about the low-level arena is the mistake.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Check for qualifiers and exceptions. Look for words like only, all, compulsory, or always. If the text provides an exception, the statement is False.

📝 Question 10: People who just want to watch the climbing can enter the Centre without paying.

🔹 Correct Answer: NOT GIVEN

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Who is Big Rock for? "If you are visiting the friends or family but not climbing, or just fancy coming to look, please feel free to relax in our excellent cafe overlooking the climbing areas."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text confirms that spectators are welcome. However, it does not provide any information about the admission price for non-climbers. The specific detail needed to verify the claim (the cost of spectator entry) is missing.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students see the words "feel free" and assume this implies free entry (a logical leap). The text is silent on the issue of payment.

⭐ Key Learning Point: A statement is Not Given if the topic is discussed but the specific detail needed to verify the claim is missing.

📝 Question 11: People can arrange to have a climbing session in their own garden if they wish.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Mobile Climbing Wall. "Available on a day hire basis at any location, the big Rock mobile Climbing Wall is the perfect way to enhance any show festival or event."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The Mobile Climbing Wall is available for hire "at any location." A person's garden would be considered "any location" where an event could be held, confirming the possibility of having a session there.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The text primarily lists "show festival or event," but the key phrase is "at any location." Students might restrict the meaning to only large public events.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Pay close attention to absolute or unrestricted terms like any, all, every. These terms broaden the scope and often contain the answer.

📝 Question 12: A certain item of clothing is forbidden for participants.

🔹 Correct Answer: TRUE

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Mobile Climbing Wall. "We will however, ask people to remove scarves."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The instruction to "ask people to remove scarves" means that scarves are not allowed to be worn while climbing (i.e., they are a "forbidden" item of clothing for participants).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The question uses the formal word "forbidden," while the text uses the phrase "ask people to remove." Students must recognize this strong paraphrase.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match the degree of prohibition. Being told to remove an item is a strong indication that it is not permitted.

📝 Question 13: The Mobile Climbing Wall can only be used in dry, calm weather.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Mobile Climbing Wall. "The mobile wall is very adaptable and can be operated in light rain and winds up to 50 kph."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question states the wall "can only be used in dry, calm weather." The text states it can be operated in "light rain and winds up to 50 kph," which directly contradicts the question's limitation.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The word "only" in the question is a strong qualifier. The text immediately refutes this by giving specific non-dry, non-calm conditions under which it can be used.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Strong logical contradiction results in False. Always pay attention to limiting words like only, just, exclusively.

📝 Question 14: It is inadvisable for children who are afraid of heights to use the Mobile Climbing Wall.

🔹 Correct Answer: FALSE

📍 Location in Passage: Section: What about hiring the mobile climbing wall...? "...our instructors will support then up to a level which they are comfortable with. They will still benefit greatly from the experience."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question implies that it is "inadvisable" (not recommended) for nervous children. The text provides reassurance that the instructors will support them and they will "still benefit greatly," directly contradicting the idea that they should not use it or that it is inadvisable.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students may assume that being afraid of heights means they should not participate. The text explicitly addresses this concern and offers a supportive solution.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for reassurance or counter-arguments in the text when the question presents a concern or limitation.

🔍 بخش ۲: تحلیل سوالات ۱۵ تا ۲۷ (Sentence & Note Completion)

Sentence Completion (Questions 15–20)

📝 Question 15: Some .... will help you to discover the most effective places to advertise.

🔹 Correct Answer: Research

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Know where your customers look. "That’s why it pays to do a bit of research. Every time someone contacts your company, ask them where they found out about you. And act on this information so you’re advertising in the right places."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states "it pays to do a bit of research" to find out where customers are looking ("advertising in the right places"). The word "Research" fills the gap, matching the grammar and function described.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The student might be tempted to use "information" later in the sentence. The sentence structure requires a noun for a type of activity or thing that helps with the discovery, which is "research."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Use context and grammar to ensure the chosen word fits perfectly into the sentence and conveys the intended meaning of the original passage.

📝 Question 16: A .... of your customers will show you how they feel about your company.

🔹 Correct Answer: Survey

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Always think like a customer. "A simple phone or email survey of your own customers, politely asking why they use you, what they really like and what they don’t, is invaluable."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text directly mentions using a "survey" to ask customers about what they like and don't like, which reveals "how they feel about your company."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might try to use "phone or email" or "invaluable." "Survey" is the single word that is a tool for finding out how customers feel.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Gap-fill answers are always one word taken exactly from the text. Do not change the word or use more than one word.

📝 Question 17: A .... of forms of advertising will make it more likely that potential customers will find out about you.

🔹 Correct Answer: Mix

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Make sure customers know you’re there. "...and using a mix of these increases your chances of being seen (and remembered)."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question states that a combination of advertising methods will increase the chance of customers finding out about you ("more likely that potential customers will find out about you"). The text uses the word "mix" to describe the use of various advertising forms that "increases your chances of being seen."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students may overlook the short, simple word "mix" and look for a more complicated synonym for "combination."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Do not underestimate simple vocabulary; it is often used as a direct answer.

📝 Question 18: If you can, provide customers with useful .... about your business.

🔹 Correct Answer: Updates

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Ignore your customers and they’ll go away. "...and, if possible, send them updates that are helpful, informative and relevant."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text suggests sending "updates" that are "helpful, informative and relevant," which fits the question's phrase "provide customers with useful [word] about your business."

⚠️ Potential Traps: "Information" or "details" might be tempting. The passage uses "updates" as a specific type of information delivered to existing customers.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match the specific term the author uses in context, even if other words seem logically similar.

📝 Question 19: Measuring the effects of your advertising can give you .... that will improve your business.

🔹 Correct Answer: Information

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Know what works (and what doesn’t). "You never know, it might just throw up some information that could change your business for the better."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question uses the phrase "improve your business." The text states that measuring advertising results might "throw up some information that could change your business for the better." The word "information" fits perfectly.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might try to use "results" or "data" (not in the text). The passage explicitly provides "information."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Focus on the cause and effect: The cause is measuring advertising; the effect is receiving "information."

📝 Question 20: Success in finding new customers largely depends on your ....

🔹 Correct Answer: Reputation

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Remember word-of-mouth: the best advertising there is. "So your reputation is your greatest asset If your current customers are impressed with your company, they’ll be more inclined to recommend you to others."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The passage states that consumer recommendations are highly influential and that "your reputation is your greatest asset." An asset is something of great value that contributes to success, especially success in getting new customers (via recommendation).

⚠️ Potential Traps: The student might use "asset" or "recommendation." "Reputation" is the core concept being discussed as the key factor.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The word asset is a great example of paraphrasing for the concept of what your success depends on.

Note Completion (Questions 21–27)

📝 Question 21: They don’t apply to Self-employed workers.

🔹 Correct Answer: Self-employed

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Working Time Regulations for Mobile Workers. "Those defined in the Regulations as being self-employed are currently not covered by the Regulations."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The notes state the regulations "don't apply to [word] workers." The text states that the "self-employed" are "not covered by the Regulations." The two phrases match perfectly.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "Those" or "Regulations" which are contextually incorrect. The answer must describe the type of worker.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the key phrase (type of worker) that is excluded from the rule.

📝 Question 22: Maximum working hours: 60 hours a week, provided the .... is no more than 48 hours.

🔹 Correct Answer: Average

📍 Location in Passage: Section: What are the limits? "In any single week up to 60 hours can be worked so long as the 48-hour average is maintained."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The notes give the 60-hour limit and a condition relating to 48 hours. The text states the 60 hours is permitted as long as the "48-hour average is maintained." The word "average" completes the sentence accurately.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might try to use "limit" or "maintained." The sentence structure requires the noun "average."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for numerical relationships. The connection between the 60-hour week and the 48-hour limit is the concept of the "average."

📝 Question 23: Night work can be more than 10 hours with the .... of the workers.

🔹 Correct Answer: Agreement

📍 Location in Passage: Section: What are the limits? "Night work is limited to 10 hours per night, unless there is a workforce agreement to work longer."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question states that working more than 10 hours at night is allowed with the consent/approval of the workers. The text uses the phrase "workforce agreement," making "agreement" the correct one-word answer.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "workforce." The notes already imply the workers (i.e., "of the workers"). "Agreement" is the specific condition that allows the extension.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Focus on the condition that changes the rule (the agreement).

📝 Question 24: Work includes driving, loading and unloading, and carrying out various .... of the vehicle.

🔹 Correct Answer: Checks

📍 Location in Passage: Section: What counts as work? "...and those checks that are the responsibility of drivers, such as checking lights, brakes, etc."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The notes list activities that count as work. The text lists "those checks" (e.g., lights, brakes) as one of these activities. The word "checks" completes the sentence.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might use "responsibility" or the examples like "lights, brakes." The heading for all these actions is "checks."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Find the general term used to categorize a list of examples.

📝 Question 25: going on a .... or other form of transport with a vehicle

🔹 Correct Answer: Train

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Periods of availability are periods... Example: "Accompanying a vehicle being transported, for example by train."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The example in the text is "Accompanying a vehicle being transported, for example by train," which is a direct paraphrase of "going on a [word] or other form of transport with a vehicle."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might try to use "vehicle" or "transported." The question asks for an example of a specific form of transport.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for explicit examples when a list is given.

📝 Question 26: a period at the workstation when the driver has some .... might count as a period of availability

🔹 Correct Answer: Freedom

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Periods of availability are periods... "Providing the worker has a reasonable amount of freedom (e.g. they can read and relax) for a known duration. this could satisfy the requirements of a period of availability."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states a period of availability can occur at the workstation if the worker has a reasonable amount of "freedom" (paraphrased as "some [word]").

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might use "amount," "reasonable," or "relax." The core condition is the noun "freedom."

⭐ Key Learning Point: The correct word is often a key concept that the surrounding examples ("read and relax") clarify.

📝 Question 27: time spent stopping and starting the vehicle when .... causes delays

🔹 Correct Answer: Congestion

📍 Location in Passage: Section: Situations when a period of time should not be recorded as a period of availability: "Hold-ups due to congestion, because the driver would be stopping and starting the vehicle."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question refers to delays caused by an issue that makes the driver stop and start the vehicle. The text explicitly links "Hold-ups due to congestion" to the action "stopping and starting the vehicle."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might use "hold-ups" or "delays." The word that causes the delay is "congestion."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match the cause-and-effect relationship described in the passage.

💡 بخش ۳: تحلیل سوالات ۲۸ تا ۴۰ (Summary & Matching Features)

Summary Completion (Questions 28–30)

📝 Question 28: The ancient Greeks had a number of .... concerning automata.

🔹 Correct Answer: Myths

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1: "Several myths show that the ancient Greeks were interested in the creation of automata."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text directly states that "Several myths" are about the creation of automata, providing the context for the following example about Hephaestus.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "statues" or "Hephaestus." The sentence requires the plural noun for the stories or legends about automata.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The summary often uses the topic word that introduces a subsequent example or detail.

📝 Question 29: The mechanism which controlled them consisted of .... which were worked by human operators.

🔹 Correct Answer: Levers

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1: "These were probably activated by levers and powered by human action..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text describes the probable mechanism: "activated by levers and powered by human action." The question uses "levers" as the mechanism and "worked by human operators" as the paraphrase for "powered by human action."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "action" or "power." The required word is the component of the mechanism, which is "levers."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the specific component or device when describing a mechanism.

📝 Question 30: Some automata were designed to be .... with an educational purpose.

🔹 Correct Answer: Tools

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 1: "Automata were sometimes intended as toys, or as tools for demonstrating basic scientific principles."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question states an educational purpose ("demonstrating basic scientific principles"). The text states they were intended as "tools" for this purpose.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "toys" or "principles." The list gives two purposes: "toys" or "tools."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Be precise when the text offers multiple possibilities (A or B).

Matching Features (Questions 31–35)

📝 Question 31: created an automaton that represented a bird in water, interacting with its surroundings

🔹 Correct Answer: F (Merlin)

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 5: "Merlin’s silver swan made in 1773, the swan sits in a stream consisting of glass rods where small silver fish are swimming... The swan turns its head from side to side. Lt soon notices the fish and bends down to catch and. eat one..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The description clearly details Merlin's swan automaton ("bird") sitting in a stream ("water") and turning its head to catch and eat the fish ("interacting with its surroundings").

⚠️ Potential Traps: Vaucanson (E) made a duck that ate, drank, and quacked, but not specifically with water features/fish.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Match all parts of the description; multiple conditions must be met.

📝 Question 32: created an automaton that performed on a musical instrument

🔹 Correct Answer: E (Vaucanson)

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4: "...He also made a life-size Female flute player. Air passes through the complex mechanism, causing the lips and fingers of the player to move naturally on the flute..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text clearly identifies Vaucanson as the creator of the Female flute player, with the flute being the musical instrument being played.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Arab engineers (B) made musical fountains; Merlin's swan (F) had a music box. But only Vaucanson's automaton physically played an instrument.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Differentiate between having a musical feature and performing on a musical instrument.

📝 Question 33: produced documents about how to create automata

🔹 Correct Answer: B (Arab engineers)

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2: "Arab engineers of the ninth and thirteenth centuries wrote detailed treatises on how to build programmable musical fountains, mechanical servants, and elaborate clocks."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "Detailed treatises on how to build" is a direct paraphrase for "produced documents about how to create."

⚠️ Potential Traps: This is a clear match, but students must know that treatises are formal, written documents.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Expand your academic vocabulary (e.g., treatise = detailed document/paper).

📝 Question 34: created automata which required a human being to operate the mechanism

🔹 Correct Answer: D (Maillardet)

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 4: "Maillardet made extensive use of gearing and cogs to produce automata of horses, worked by turning a handle."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: Maillardet's horses were "worked by turning a handle." Turning a handle requires a "human being to operate the mechanism," which contrasts with the self-operating nature of other automata.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The first paragraph mentions Greek automata powered by human action, but Maillardet is a more concrete example with a specific mechanical detail.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Look for the specific method of operation (e.g., "turning a handle") that requires human involvement.

📝 Question 35: used air and water power

🔹 Correct Answer: A (Ctesibius)

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 2: "In Egypt, Ctesibius experimented with air pressure and pneumatic principles. One of his creations was a singing blackbird powered by water."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text attributes the use of "air" (pneumatic principles/air pressure) and "water" to Ctesibius.

⚠️ Potential Traps: The Mechanical Theatre later in the passage uses "water technology" (which is water power). However, Ctesibius is the one linked to both air (pneumatic) and water.

⭐ Key Learning Point: The correct answer must match all conditions (both air and water).

Sentence Completion (Questions 36–40)

📝 Question 36: The Mechanical Theatre shows court life inside a ....

🔹 Correct Answer: Palace

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6: "The figures inside a palace depict eighteenth- century court life, while industrious activity is carried on in and around this building."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text states that the figures that depict "court life" are found "inside a palace."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might use "building." "Palace" is the more specific and correct one-word answer.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Choose the most precise noun that describes the setting or object.

📝 Question 37: In the Mechanical Theatre, building workers, butchers and a barber represent various .... of the time.

🔹 Correct Answer: Trades

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6: "A total of 141 mobile and 52 immobile little figures demonstrate all manner of trades of the period: building workers bring materials to the foreman, who drinks; butchers slaughter an ox; a barber shaves a man."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text uses the list "building workers, butchers, a barber" as examples to demonstrate "all manner of trades of the period."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might try to use "workers" or "activity." "Trades" is the umbrella term for these specific professions.

⭐ Key Learning Point: Use the category word that summarizes the list of examples provided.

📝 Question 38: Water provides the power that operates the Mechanical Theatre.

🔹 Correct Answer: Water

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 6: "The theatre shows great skill in clock making and water technology, consisting of hidden waterwheels, copper wiring and cogwheels."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: "Water technology" and "waterwheels" are terms that indicate the power source is Water.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Students might try to use "technology" or "waterwheels." The source of the power is the element "Water."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Identify the energy source when the concept of power is discussed.

📝 Question 39: New .... that developed in the nineteenth century reduced the cost of the production of automata.

🔹 Correct Answer: Techniques

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 7: "During the nineteenth century, mass production techniques meant that automata could be made cheaply and easily..."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The question states something developed in the 19th century that meant automata could be made cheaply. The text states "mass production techniques" meant they could be made "cheaply and easily." The required one-word answer is "techniques."

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "production." The text specifies the type of production was new: the "techniques."

⭐ Key Learning Point: Find the noun that describes the new method that caused the change.

📝 Question 40: During the nineteenth century, most automata were intended for use by ....

🔹 Correct Answer: Children

📍 Location in Passage: Paragraph 7: "...and they became toys for children rather than an expensive adult amusement."

🔹 Analysis of the Answer: The text directly states that automata became "toys for children" in the 19th century, replacing the previous expensive adult amusement.

⚠️ Potential Traps: Using "toys" or "amusement." The question asks who the automata were intended for (the users).

⭐ Key Learning Point: Focus on the target audience or user group specified in the text.
