Question
What is a true/false + justify question?
Answer
A statement you mark True or False AND justify with words from the recording.
Question
In T/F + justify, what do you score for a correct True/False with no justification?
Answer
Nothing — True/False alone earns no marks.
Question
What does 'to justify' mean in this question type?
Answer
To prove your true/false choice with the relevant words from the recording.
Question
What does 'with words from the recording' mean?
Answer
Your justification must use the speaker's own words, not your own ideas.
Question
What is 'the justification'?
Answer
The exact proving words you quote to support your True/False.
Question
What is a 'quote' in this context?
Answer
The exact words from the recording used as proof.
Question
What is the 'relevant detail' in a justification?
Answer
The exact part of the recording that proves your True/False — not the whole sentence and not an unrelated line.
Question
How many parts must be correct to score a T/F + justify mark?
Answer
Both — the True/False AND the justification.
Question
What is the 'past-tense trap'?
Answer
A 'used to' detail can be true once but false now — the tense flips whether the statement is True or False.
Question
What is the five-step method for T/F + justify?
Answer
Read the statement → Locate the part it refers to → Decide T or F → Find the exact justifying words → Write BOTH the T/F and the justification.
Question
Why is a bare True/False worth nothing?
Answer
The question awards the mark for the True/False PLUS the justifying words; without the justification the answer is incomplete.
Question
Why quote the relevant words rather than the whole sentence?
Answer
Copying the whole sentence buries the proof; the mark needs the exact words that decide True or False.
Question
Why watch verb tenses in T/F + justify?
Answer
A past detail ('used to…') can be true once but false now — the tense can flip whether the statement is True or False.
Question
Why is an irrelevant justification not enough?
Answer
It doesn't prove your True/False; only the relevant detail that actually supports the answer earns the justification mark.
