Example questions from this paper
A preview of the wording. The answer options and full explanations appear once you begin.
- “Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank” (lines 1–2) Why had Alice grown tired?
- “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?” (lines 4–5) What does this tell us about Alice?

Before you begin, remember

- Use evidence from the text in your answer. 'He was nervous because his hands were shaking' earns marks that 'he was nervous' does not.
