  4. 4Common errors
What it is: You read a text and choose A, B, C or D. Only one option is right. At HL, options often reword the text.
The instruction on the paper: Choisissez la bonne réponse. → Choose the correct answer.
Example: Choisissez la bonne réponse.: Longtemps considéré comme un simple loisir, le jeu vidéo entre aujourd’hui dans les salles de classe. À Nantes, un professeur d’histoire utilise un jeu qui reconstitue Paris au XVIIIe siècle. Ses élèves y explorent les rues et interrogent des personnages. Le professeur reconnaît que l’outil ne remplace pas les livres, mais il constate que les élèves les plus discrets participent davantage. Certains parents restent toutefois méfiants : ils craignent que l’école encourage le temps passé devant les écrans.

Choisissez la bonne réponse.

Selon le professeur, le jeu vidéo…

A. remplace les manuels d’histoire.

B. fait participer les élèves timides.

C. inquiète beaucoup les élèves.

D. montre Paris tel qu’il est aujourd’hui.

Answer

Step by step

    Choisissez la bonne réponse.
    Choose the correct answer.
    Selon le texte, …
    According to the text, …
    L’auteur de ce texte…
    The author of this text…
    Le but du texte est de…
    The aim of the text is to…
    Qu’est-ce qui montre que… ?
    What shows that…?
    Quelle expression montre… ?
    Which phrase shows…?
    Remember: The right option usually uses other words. The option that repeats the text is often the trap.

    Whole-text questions: L’auteur de ce texte… or Ce texte est… asks about the whole text. The writer's aim is often clearest at the end.
    Example: Choisissez la bonne réponse.: La mode rapide séduit : des vêtements à la dernière tendance, pour presque rien. Mais à quel prix ? Il faut près de 2 700 litres d’eau pour fabriquer un seul tee-shirt en coton, et la plupart de ces vêtements finissent à la poubelle après quelques utilisations. Je ne demande à personne d’arrêter d’acheter des vêtements. Je propose simplement de se poser une question avant chaque achat : est-ce que je le porterai au moins trente fois ?

    Choisissez la bonne réponse.

    L’auteur de ce texte…

    A. veut interdire la mode rapide.

    B. invite les lecteurs à acheter de façon réfléchie.

    C. vend des tee-shirts en coton.

    D. trouve les vêtements trop chers.

    Answer

    Step by step

      Do

      • Read all four options first.
      • Match the meaning, not one word.
      • Read past the first sentence.

      Don't

      • Pick an option for a repeated word.
      • Answer from your own opinion.
      • Leave the box empty.
