Question
In a True/False + justify question, what two things must you do?
Answer
Decide True or False AND justify by quoting the relevant words from the text.
Question
How many marks is a True/False + justify item usually worth, and how do you earn it?
Answer
1 mark — but only for BOTH a correct decision and a correct justification quoted from the text.
Question
What does "to justify" ask you to do?
Answer
Give the reason by quoting the exact relevant words from the text.
Question
Where does the justification come from?
Answer
From the text — you copy the relevant words word for word.
Question
What is the golden rule for answering Paper 2 Reading?
Answer
Copy the exact words as they appear in the text; paraphrasing scores zero.
Question
Should you copy a whole paragraph as your justification?
Answer
No — quote only the specific words that prove your answer.
Question
In a Paper 2 multiple-choice question, how many answers go in the box?
Answer
Exactly one; putting two answers scores zero.
Question
Do spelling slips lose you the mark in Paper 2 Reading?
Answer
No — a spelling slip is fine if the meaning is still clear; wrong or extra words are the problem.
Question
Give the 5-step routine for True/False + justify.
Answer
Read the statement → Find the relevant line → Decide True or False → Quote the justifying words → Write BOTH.
Question
Why does a correct True/False earn nothing on its own?
Answer
The mark requires a justification quoted from the text as well as the decision.
Question
What's the most common way to lose marks in True/False + justify?
Answer
Writing True or False with no justification.
Question
Name three Paper 2 Reading question types that all reward the same skill.
Answer
Find the exact words; True/False + justify; "find the word/phrase that means…" (also gap-fill from a word list, multiple choice, heading-match).
Question
Why quote only the relevant words, not the whole paragraph?
Answer
A buried justification may not be credited; short and exact beats long and vague.
Question
What's the danger of adding extra words to a complete answer?
Answer
Extra wrong or irrelevant information can lose the mark — keep it complete but stop there.
