Question
What is a vrai/faux + justifier question?
Answer
A statement you mark vrai (V) or faux (F). In Reading you also justify it with words from the text (« les deux parties sont requises »); in Listening you only tick V or F.
Question
In V/F + justify, what do you score for a correct V/F with no justification?
Answer
In Reading, nothing — both parts are required for [1 mark]. In Listening there is no justification: the right tick alone earns the mark.
Question
What does « justifier » mean in this question type?
Answer
To justify — to prove your vrai/faux choice with the relevant words from the text. Only Reading asks for it; in Listening you just tick V or F.
Question
What does « par des mots du texte » mean?
Answer
With words from the text — your justification must use the text's own words, in French. This is a Reading instruction: in Listening, V/F is just ticked.
Question
Qu'est-ce que « la justification » ?
Answer
The justification — the exact proving words you quote from the TEXT to support your V/F. Only Reading asks for it; in Listening you just tick.
Question
Que signifient « vrai » et « faux » ?
Answer
True and false.
Question
What does the IB rubric « les deux parties de la réponse sont requises » mean?
Answer
Both parts — the vrai/faux AND the justification — are required for [1 mark]; one without the other scores nothing. It is a Reading instruction: in Listening, V/F is just ticked.
Question
What is the 'relevant detail' in a justification?
Answer
In Reading: the exact part of the text that proves your V/F — not the whole sentence and not an unrelated line. In Listening there is no justification: you only tick V or F.
Question
How many parts must be correct to score a V/F + justify mark?
Answer
In Reading, both — the V/F AND the justification, together for [1 mark]. In Listening you only tick V or F.
Question
What is the method for a listening V/F question?
Answer
Read the statement → Predict what you will hear → Listen for the part it refers to → Decide V or F → Tick it. Listening asks for no justification (in Reading you also copy the proving words).
Question
Why is a bare V/F worth nothing?
Answer
In Reading the mark needs the V/F PLUS the justifying words from the text. In Listening a bare tick is the whole answer and earns the mark.
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 V or F.
Question
Why watch verb tenses in a V/F question?
Answer
A past-tense detail (« avant… ») can be true once but false now — the tense can flip whether the statement is V or F.
Question
Why is an irrelevant justification not enough?
Answer
In Reading it doesn't prove your V/F, so the mark is lost: the right V/F and the relevant words together earn [1 mark]. In Listening no justification is asked; you only tick.
