Try a sample Comprehension — literal and inferred meaning question
Question 1 — Easy
At the end of the class, the teacher said everyone had done a great job. She paused. 'Except for one group.' She looked at the table near the window. Finn stared at his desk. He could feel everyone looking at him. What can you infer about Finn?
Answer: Option B is correct — The teacher looks at the table near the window after criticising one group. Finn sits there and stares at his desk — a sign of awareness that the criticism is aimed at him.
Question 2 — Medium
Ava opened the letter and read it once. Then she read it again. After a pause, she read it a third time, her eyes moving slowly across each line. What does Ava's behaviour MOST suggest?
Answer: Option D is correct — Reading a letter three times, with increasing slowness, is the behaviour of someone absorbing significant or surprising content — not someone struggling with comprehension or looking for errors.
Question 3 — Hard
What does Hamid's immediate reaction in class suggest about his character?
Answer: Hamid's hand 'shot up immediately' when he heard about dark skies suitable for astronomy, showing he is enthusiastic and quick to seize opportunities related to his passion.
