What it is: You decide if a statement is true or false, then copy the words from the text that prove it.
The instruction on the paper: The following statements are either true or false. Tick [✓] the correct option, then justify it using words as they appear in the text. Both parts are required for [1 mark]. → Tick True or False, then copy the proof.
Example: Text C — Night trains are back
After decades of decline, night trains are returning to Europe. Operators report that many routes sell out weeks in advance, mainly to travellers who want to avoid flying. Tickets are rarely cheaper than a flight, however, and a bed in a shared cabin can cost twice as much. Railway companies admit that profits remain small: the trains run only once a day, and each carriage carries far fewer passengers than a daytime train.
True or false? Justify it using words as they appear in the text. Night trains are usually cheaper than flights.

Text D — The rewilding debate: When wolves returned to parts of Germany in the early 2000s, few farmers celebrated. Today, packs live in several regions, and attacks on sheep have risen steadily. The government pays compensation, but farmers say the forms are slow and the payments do not cover the cost of extra fencing. Ecologists, on the other hand, point out that wolves keep deer numbers down, helping young forests to recover. Interestingly, surveys suggest that people living in cities support the wolves far more strongly than those in the countryside, who actually meet them.
True or false? Justify each answer using words as they appear in the text. 1. Most farmers were happy when the wolves returned. 2. Farmers think the compensation is enough. 3. Wolves may help forests grow back.
