Any feedback on the last English LC question. The question in gist was that the morale of the story was not to be greedy. A girl found a flute. When she blew it, she got some silver. She blew it a second time, she got some gold. She decided to return the flute and went to the police station. The policeman transformed into a wizard and told her luckily, she did not blow the flute for the 3rd time, else her clothes will turn into rags and all her money in the house will be gone. The wizard ended by telling her because of her wise choice, happiness will follow thereafter.


The answer chosen were mainly (b) honesty is the main policy while some chose (c) gold and silver cannot buy happiness.

Rationale for (b) - in returning the flute, the girl has saved herself from misfortunes.

Rationale (c) - the girl only returned the flute but not the silver and gold. She did not continue to try to blow the flute to get more gold or silver but she understood that happiness is not in getting more gold or silver but to live an upright live with good values such not being greedy.

To me, both answers are correct except which angle we are looking at. Question seems ambiguous.

Thanks

My DD's answer is b

[quote=\"woodgrove\"]For English picture listening compre, there is this question that has three pictures (Q3 ) and is phrased ,\" Which of the following shows what each of the pupils should bring along for the science trial?\"


The first picture shows a ribbon, a pencil and an eraser , while the second shows a pencil, eraser and worksheet. My DD chose (2) but her friends said that it is (1) as worksheets would be supplied at the station(s) . However,my DD told me she chose (2) as the passage stated clearly that they were supposed to put on the green ribbon on the left sleeve of their T-shirt.

What is the answer? Can anyone get back to me? Thanks

Hi, my ds said answer is (1) because you will be given the worksheet when you are at the station.

Same answer (1) .[/quote]

DS said his answer is 1.

DD shared that the last qn was tricky. Lost 2 marks.
Her classmates who are strong in CL also got it wrong too.
For EL, she alrdy lost 1 mark. :nailbite:

My DD who is strong in CL also said EL is easier than CL and CL last qrs is tricky. How she knows the ans is wrong. What's the ans for that qrs?

Ans is 1 whereas DD put it as 2[/quote]

Thanks GiftedGem. DS was so upset when he came back saying he did badly for CL LC and this was one of the questions he thought he got wrong. I'll told him he was right after all and that really boost his morale up!
:thankyou:
