Entry 3 reading practice: answer evidence

Original Nolixia practice • Not an official exam paper

Answers and the words that support them

1. Course B. It teaches cropping, brightness and organising picture folders. Course A teaches taking photographs outdoors.
2. Course B. Its Wednesday evening sessions match Leila's availability. Course A conflicts with her Saturday work.
3. No. The final sentence says there is no indoor alternative in wet weather. Do not assume that every outdoor course moves inside.
4. No. Course B expects learners to use a mouse and open files already. Ben should ask about support or a more suitable starting course. Having computers provided does not remove that starting requirement.

5. To explain how groups can borrow a projector. The text gives booking, collection and return instructions; it does not offer one for sale.
6. No. The group must wait for a confirmation email. Submitting a request and receiving confirmation are different steps.
7. Contact reception before collection. Staff need to update the booking. Bringing a different person's identification alone is not the instruction given.
8. By midday on Monday. That is the stated Friday-event rule when Monday is not a bank holiday. The event is not due back on Saturday, and 4 pm is a collection deadline, not this return deadline.

9. The writer could not finish a long novel each month. Evening work and missed chapters explain the problem. The text does not say the writer disliked the other members.
10. No. The writer misses following characters and suggests choosing a longer book sometimes. This is a mixed opinion, not a complete rejection.
11. From time to time. The writer contrasts short stories for most meetings with a longer book occasionally.
12. A mixture of reading choices. The final paragraph proposes keeping short stories and adding a longer book sometimes. The writer wants the club to continue in a more manageable form.
