The answer to this question is not stated in the passage. Any variation of suggested answers below will do.
Humans take care of the fish
There are no predators
The term “ambush predators” refers to animals that wait in hiding to catch their prey by
surprise.
The answer to this question is partially stated. Readers must link ideas and come up with own opinions.
By outnumbering local fish they can reduce the local fish population.
Fishing competitions can boost tourism.
No, another fish should not be introduced to control the lionfish population.
Human hunting has proved a good way to control the lion fish population and a
new fish species might lead to a similar problem.
The purpose of the passage is to educate readers about the lionfish.
Information was given about where the fish lives, its reproduction, the
problem it causes, and how the problem is solved.
OPTION 2 for Question 24. Note, however, since hunting is highly effective, the preferred answer would
be “No, do not introduce another fish for fear of creating a similar problem with another species.”
Yes, another fish should be introduced to control the lionfish population.
Even though hunting is effective in controlling the problem, the lionfish
reproduces a lot and lives long so human hunters alone are not enough to deal
with the problem. Introducing another fish will help with hunting and could
actually eliminating the lionfish.
Walked on the beach, made a sand castle, poured water to sail a boat
Made a farm and racetrack, piled more sand, made a face in the sand
“Another wave took a nip at the witch” is an example of personification.
Also personification – “One little wave crept up the beach”
The speaker had created the sculpture by herself
The sculpture looked exactly like what the speaker wanted.
No, the speaker did not really want to save the sand witch.
“I laughed as the water swished round my feet”
The answer to this question is not in the passage. Reader must use their knowledge of sea and sandcastles.
Any suitable answer would be acceptable.
Building up some sand to block the waves from reaching the witch
Moving the sand witch to a safer spot further away from the waves
The “whitecap” is used to describe the frothy white part of the wave as it
came up the beach. When the poet says it “ate that witch in one big bite”
that means the wave washed away the sand witch all at once.
The answer to this question is all about the reader’s opinion but must be connected to the poem.
Yes, the last line is an appropriate ending for the poem.
The name of the poem is “A Sand Witch for a Sandwich” and the
writer is having fun with the sound of the two words because they
sound the same. The ending explains the title.
Calling the number which is listed in the flyer
Emailing the centre at the email on the flyer
The answer to this question is all about the reader’s opinion but must be connected to the information given.
Teachers would be most interested in this event.
They would see it as an exciting learning experience for their students to
learn about robotics and science. The event is also free, so no cost is involved.
So that it stands out as important information
To encourage readers to check out the community event.
Yes, I think the image of a robot using a laptop is suitable for this poster.
Because the event is about robotics, the image of a robot will
appeal to readers and make them think about robotics. The
image would encourage them to want to visit the event to see
robots and learn more about robotics.
OPTION 2 for Question 36. This type of question asks for the reader’s opinion, but that opinion must be
supported by a logical answer. If the reason does not make sense, marks will not be awarded.
No, I don’t think the image of a robot using a laptop is suitable for this poster.
The image doesn’t show a robot doing anything interesting, like building
something, and that does not make it realistic for robotics. Readers
would be more interested in a robot that is doing something exciting.
