Sigh. Mine wrote proceed with request.

1 reveal
2 unravelled
3 interpret
4 recognise

Grandma could not *figure* *out* how to open the palm-sized, black device.

The phrase, \"could not\", cannot go with past tense. So, cannot be \"unravelled\" , because it is in past tense form, although out of the (4), \"unravel\" is the most suitable (approriate), because \"unravel\" means \" to solve, to work out \" how to use the device (in this context)

So, to clarify
For choice (2), was it \"unravel\" or \"unravelled\" ?

If \"unravel\", then answer is (2)

Or is it even though they use past tense \"unravelled\", they actually mean \"unravel\" ?

Because (1), (3) and (4) -
Do not match the meaning at all[/quote]

Mine put 4. Recognise. What is the correct answer?

Unravel[/quote]Yes, I will choose 'unravel' if the option was given as unravel & not unravell-ed. The rest of the words have a similar meaning but not suitable to replace the word \"figure out\" in this context.

Is it “move up” to secondary one or “move on” to secondary one?

Mine wrote move up

Think the answer is \"move on\" to...

class, had confirmed that the printing inside the Psle booklet this morning was \"unravel\" , not \"unravelled\". Present tense, not past tense.
So, your friend who gave u the terminology in past tense was wrong, right from the very beginning


Reveal : is to show
Interpret : is to decipher
Recognise : is familiarity

none of the above 3, fit the grandma case, except \"unravel\"

Unravel: is to solve, work out

Answer : unravel

[quote=AAHL post_id=1937394 time=1569485642 user_id=176898]Is it “move up” to secondary one or “move on” to secondary one?

Mine wrote move up

Think the answer is \"move on\" to...[/quote]Yes, answer should be \"move on\" to something new, to a new chapter (journey) in their life, ie. Sec 1, because their primary school journey had already ended.

You do not \"move up\" to a next, new journey in your life. But, you \"move on\" forward to the next stage of your life's journey

Just like us, right now. English over today, dusted, can throw away our mountain high piled up stack of English school worksheets ! So, what should we do ?

Let's \"move on\" to tackle Maths next, and not \"move up\" to tackle Maths.

In fact, this English qn set was very tricky. SEAB think because we students all from P6 move up to Sec 1 next year, one level up, so they used the word \"up\", try to trick us, make us fall for it
