My DD'd friend say \"deceitful\".What is the answer for deceiving in editing.
No one in my DS's class knows it -
Ms tay:
Make a cup of american ginseng with boiling water and let them drink when they are home. A whole day out can be very \"heaty\" for the body, esp in such weather. Drinking this can reduce \"heatiness\" and also provide them some perk-up.ppnqq:
My child's teachers are also very on, still in school having lessons now. Really worried for her health. Yes, mine called up saying the paper was easy too.
We r in the same boat!! :imdrowning: :grphug:
I have been doing lots of herbal tea and soup over the last few days / weeks to keep DS in good health. -
It seems that this year’s "king maker" is going to be the Paper 2 rather than Paper 1. Usually its the other way round as most people will get roughly the same scores for Paper 2 and the greatest variance will be in Paper 1. But since Paper 1, q3 is such an easy question (the picture composition is also easy but a little difficult to develop conflict in that question), Paper 2 will make the difference.
Some of the tough questions mentioned by others are really tricky. The distractors used are all very close.
Questions like permutating deceiving to deceptive; transforming past perfect in the S&T to simple past; collocating pain with pronounced, etc… are all rather tricky… SEAB seems to be upping the ante… -
parentof3:
Correct word should be \"deceitful\". Used to describe a person \"a deceitful person\".
My DD'd friend say \"deceitful\".manzst:

Deceptive refers to tend to deceive. Used in the form of \"It is deceptive\".
Please treat this as a learning experience (I've shared with DS without asking for his answer) but not to hammer kid on losing that 1 mark. -
what is the answer for the S&T question on reported speech… X asked his brother if he had bought the gift for Y.

manzst:
My son wrote 'deceitful'. But come to think of it, why deceptive cannot? Deceptive is having the power to cheat, deceitful is like 'dishonest' So maybe 'deceitful' is a better adjective
I thought deceptive is the adj.Paddy Field:
In editing, there is this sentence
\"Deceiving sellers would replace the chickens with stray cats.\"
They are supposed to change the word form of 'deceiving'. He put as 'deceivious' but I think it should be 'deceitful'.
Any comments? -
