Mark your chosen answer for each question in your answering booklet. You will have five options (A - E). Example Question ii ii) Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the second-smallest planet in ________ solar system. A B C D E your our hour owe a The answer here is B because ‘our’ is the word that makes the most sense in this sentence. Mars is a part of ‘our’ solar system, so it is unlikely to be ‘your’. ‘Owe’ and ‘hour’ do not make sense in this sentence and finally, ‘a’ suggests that Mars can be found in all solar systems, which is not true. Now try the following question. Remember to answer in your answering booklet. Practice Question ii ii) In English, Mars is named ________ the Roman god of war, and is often referred to as the “Red Planet”.

Mark your chosen answer for each question in your answering booklet. You will have five options (A - E) for each question. Jane Eyre By Charlotte Brontê Jane Eyre is sent to a strict boarding school after getting in trouble for something she did not do. The moon was set, and it was very dark; Bessie carried a lantern, whose light glanced on wet steps and gravel road sodden by a recent thaw. Raw and chill was the winter morning: my teeth chattered as I hastened down the drive. There was a light in the porter’s lodge: when we reached it, we found the porter’s wife just kindling her fire: my trunk, which had been carried down the evening before, stood corded at the door. It wanted but a few minutes of six, and shortly after that hour had struck, the distant roll of wheels announced the coming coach; I went to the door and watched its lamps approach rapidly through the gloom. “Is she going by herself?” asked the porter’s wife. “Yes.” “And how far is it?” “Fifty miles.” “What a long way! I wonder Mrs. Reed is not afraid to trust her so far alone.” 5 10 The coach drew up; there it was at the gates with its four horses and its top laden with passengers: the guard and coachman loudly urged haste; my trunk was hoisted up; I was 15 taken from Bessie’s neck, to which I clung with kisses. “Be sure and take good care of her,” cried she to the guard, as he lifted me into the inside. “Ay, ay!” was the answer: the door was slapped to, a voice exclaimed “All right,” and on we drove. Thus was I severed from Bessie and Gateshead; thus whirled away to unknown, and, as I then deemed, remote and mysterious regions. 20 © The Exam Coach | teamkeen@theexamcoach.tv Book an 11 Plus exam preparation course: www.theexamcoach.tv/courses Page 6 I remember but little of the journey; I only know that the day seemed to me of a preternatural length, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles of road. We passed through several towns, and in one, a very large one, the coach stopped; the horses were taken out, and the passengers alighted to dine. I was carried into an inn, where the guard wanted me to have some dinner; but, as I had no appetite, he left me in an immense 25 room with a fireplace at each end, a chandelier pendent from the ceiling, and a little, red gallery high up against the wall filled with musical instruments. Here I walked about for a long time, feeling very strange, and mortally apprehensive of someone coming in and kidnapping me; for I believed in kidnappers, their exploits having frequently figured in Bessie’s fireside chronicles. At last the guard returned; once more I was stowed away in 30 the coach, my protector mounted his own seat, sounded his hollow horn, and away we rattled over the “stony street” of L-. The afternoon came on wet and somewhat misty: as it waned into dusk, I began to feel that we were getting very far indeed from Gateshead: we ceased to pass through towns; the country changed; great, grey hills heaved up round the horizon: as twilight deepened, we descended a valley, dark with wood, and long after night had overclouded the prospect, I heard a wild wind rushing amongst trees. Lulled by the sound, I at last dropped asleep; I had not long slumbered when the sudden cessation of motion awoke me; the coach-door was open, and a person like a servant was standing at it: I saw her face and dress by the light of the lamps. “Is there a little girl called Jane Eyre here?” she asked. I answered “Yes,” and was then lifted out; my trunk was handed down, and the coach instantly drove away. © The Exam Coach | teamkeen@theexamcoach.tv Book an 11 Plus exam preparation course: www.theexamcoach.tv/courses 35 40 Page 7 1) Who is Bessie to Jane?
