Hello. For question 66 in English paper 2, the statement given was \"Tom found the loss of his diary upsetting\". (Same general meaning.)


I answered \"Tom is upset about the loss of his diary\", however, it seems that the answer is \"Tom was upset about the loss of his diary.\"

Someone please clarify whether my answer is wrong. I am not sure about the statement given, it could have been \"Tom finds the loss of his diary upsetting\", or \"Tom found/finds the loss of his diary very upsetting.\" (I'm pretty sure there wasn't a \"very\" though.) And if I'm wrong, would I be awarded at least one mark since it is a problem with the tenses? :nailbite:

Yes the question stated to answer in fraction. The answer should be 3/1000.

After watching the Mindstretcher video, I am quite disturbed as the questions asked are tricky. Those who have been exposed to MO questions definitely will have an advantage.

how do we get our kids exposed to some MO qns?can just buy any MO book from Popular and do it at own leisure? or must/better get a tutor/tuition ctr to decode/help kids understand the solution?

Hi


For synthesis and transformation marking, if the whole sentence is correct except one word is wrong, e.g correct word is was dealing, but put dealt instead. Will 1 marks be giving?

Thanks!

I think the correct answer is \"The way Ginny dealt with the problem showed her courage.\" based on my experience in the exam.

Perhaps the Mindstretcher tutor was transforming based on \"While dealing\", hence he stuck to the past progressive tense. But the given words were \"The way\". \"The way\" already encapsulates the process/manner of \"dealing\", so maybe \"dealt\" is acceptable. :evil:
