Comprehension 7 Questions: 15 Minutes YOU HAVE 15 MINUTES TO COMPLETE THIS SECTION
Instructions: Read the following text and then answer the questions that follow it. What was that? It surely couldn’t be footsteps already? Jeremiah Eastham felt sick in the bottom of his stomach. He had not expected to be followed for hours yet. This put even more pressure on Jeremiah. He plunged his hands deep into his coat pockets, his righthand fingers wrapping around the small vial. Jeremiah was pleased that there was only a new moon tonight so that it was easy to keep in the shadows with such limited light. The fog was patchy and although it offered him some further protection, it could not be relied upon; even more worryingly, if the fog protected him from being seen, it would also protect his pursuers. The houses thinned out as Jeremiah strode up the hill towards the meeting place. He hoped that he would make it in time. He knew that the lack of houses offered more security from being spotted, but the lack of light to see by would slow him down. It was an inevitable problem. Jeremiah stepped to the side to catch his breath. The air was cold and wet and the incline was getting steeper. Jeremiah listened carefully, but all was silent. He felt reassured, but just before he was about to set off again, he realised that he was most definitely not alone. He took a huge step backwards, just in time, as the sound of heavy breathing would have been inches away from the back of his neck. The darkly dressed figure of the tall, bony man trod past Jeremiah. His long dark coat and his tall black top hat made him instantly recognisable; Enoch Longfellow, the most revered and knowledgeable owner of the Dark Knowledge Bookshop. He walked with a slight stoop, his long fingers strangling a walking stick that tapped on the stone cobbles as he strode onwards and up the hill. That must have been the sound that Jeremiah had heard, but why was Enoch Longfellow following him, or was he the messenger that Jeremiah was to meet? Enemy or friend? He didn’t know. Jeremiah waited a few minutes before trying to decide whether to continue to his meeting point or to take another route up to higher ground so that he could look down upon the meeting place, when another sound, faint at first, could be heard. Jeremiah stood as still as possible, hoping that the fog and darkness would shield him. In the gloom, he could make out a person, but it was so frustrating not being able to get a clear look at this second person. Jeremiah strained his eyes, peering into the darkness when, with a start, a stark, white face could be seen. The figure was also dressed top to toe in black with what appeared to be a long cloak around his ample shoulders. The dark hair was greased to one side making the face even more moon-like. Jeremiah did not recognise this character, but the sickly pallor of his face made Jeremiah shiver. Was this gentleman a friend or foe? Until Jeremiah knew for certain, he was relieved that the gentleman had passed by without spotting him.

The clock struck the hour of seven. Jeremiah felt irritated with his lack of progress and there was no point in setting off now as the seven o’clock coach would be due within minutes and he did not want to be spotted by the driver or any possible occupants of the coach. There again, it might be an idea to ride the coach along the high road so that some height could be gained and some time saved. Nobody would think it strange to see a messenger boy travelling along the high road until the Last Drop pub and would assume he was running an errand. The sound of horse hooves reached Jeremiah. That was his decision made. Jeremiah stepped onto the roadside and raised his hand up to hail the coach. In a split second, Jeremiah realised his dreadful mistake as this was not the ordinary stagecoach. Four frantic horses with steaming nostrils and wild, black eyes stopped short before Jeremiah and the demonic face of the driver leered down as his horsewhip caught Jeremiah on the side of his cheek. The sting of the lash was nothing compared to the horror of recognition. Jeremiah squeezed the tiny transparent vial in his pocket until it shattered and the thick, steaming liquid oozed out, emitting a nauseous vapour. The last thing that Jeremiah remembered was the petrified face of the coach driver …

Making Magnificent Mosaics Masterclass In last week’s issue we looked at stained glass making and we are keeping with the theme of decorative arts by making a crockery mosaic table. 5

Mosaics have a long history in many civilisations. They are the use of small pieces of stone, glass or ceramic ‘tiles’ placed in patterns. There are some fantastic examples that can be seen in Roman and Greek ruins, but there are few places within Morocco where mosaic work can’t be seen. So many mosques, palaces, mausoleums, restaurants and homes have beautiful examples of mosaic tile work that decorate floors and walls. In other areas, smaller fragments of tiles are placed to decorate a mirror, window or recess. For more modern day examples of mosaic work, have a look at Gaudi’s work in Barcelona.
• Some tiling grout. This is a bit like a thick glue paste bought from any DIY shop. Here is our step-by-step guide: 1 Place your pieces of mosaic (we will call these pieces ‘tiles’) in various patterns on your table or drawer top, until you find a pleasing design. Ideally you want to leave no more than 2 or 3 millimetres between the tiles.
To begin with today, you will need the following items:
25
30
35
2 Carefully apply some grout to your table and then push your tiles into the grout until you have covered your table.
• A selection of broken crockery – this is the chance to reuse any old broken plates and saucers or to purchase brightly decorated plates from charity shops that you can break up and use. They don’t have to match.
40
45
3 Now let this dry for 30 minutes. 4 Next, cover the whole of your mosaic with more grout, making sure that there is plenty pushed down between each tile.
• A pair of tile cutters is very useful for shaping your broken crockery, but you can just break the item and use the pieces as they are.
5 Once you have covered the area, use a soft cloth or kitchen roll to clean away the excess grout from your tiles.
• A small table or chest of drawers to transform.

6 Your tiles should now be clean, with neat lines of grout between each piece, but use another soft cloth to buff the tile surfaces so that they are spotless and shiny.
Next week we will be looking at decoupage so make sure you pick up your copy from any good newsagent or why not subscribe and have your weekly copy delivered straight to your home? Turn to page 52 for information about our sensational subscription offers.

140 Sweet Turf Netherton Dudley 26 April 1842 Dear Esther, I hope you are well. This is just a quick note as I know that you must have been very worried when the news of the rioting reached you. This is to let you know that we are alive, but shaken. Oh Esther it was dreadful and I hope that this will now be an end to it. You know how difficult it has been making nails over the last few years, but it has been difficult everywhere hasn’t it? We’ve got our little Solomon and Emily making nails now. Well it is pointless having them waste their time when they could be helping to make ends meet. Anyway, Solomon will be six next month and Emily is already eight and they are fantastic little workers. A regular Total

ten-hour day for six days a week, but that is the only way that we are coping. Poor Sophia next door has four babes under the age of six, which is six mouths to feed but only two workers, and she can’t work properly when she has the little ones to look after. I wish I could help more, but we’re only just about keeping our own heads above water. Many of our friends have starved to death. Well anyway, we knew some of the men and women were getting more and more restless. The foggers keep applying the pressure so we’re getting less money, but of course they keep taking their wages and what do they do other than collect the nails and pay our wages? They don’t throw any hammers or put in the blood, sweat and tears that we do. Yesterday they said that our wages were being cut again as the Belgiums have been producing nails and it’s driving our prices down. Something just snapped. People were shouting and yelling, but then they began pushing and shoving. A mob of nailers began storming the factories and taking the managers hostage. They began causing havoc breaking machinery, smashing windows and taking any money or food that they could find. Where will it all end Esther? I don’t mind telling you that I am proper scared. Pray for us and let’s hope this is the end of it. Lots of love to you, Ernest and the children. Your loving sister Roshannah xxx 7

Instructions: Read through this passage and then write the complete word that is partly missing into the table on the right. The first one has been done as an example. WORD
The Journey It was a rid ously early time to get up but as the taxi was soon due, we had little choice. Travelling down to Southampton was a long dist from Northumbria and we had to reach the docks by mid-afternoon. There is always the nervousness of whether the taxi will remember to turn up and whether we will catch the coach in time, but we were tunate and the taxi did turn up as re sted. At the coach station we bun out of the taxi with heavy suitcases, far more bags than seemed sensible, and our coats, scarves and gloves as we could be q ing outside for ages. We stood there like Wee Willy Winkie, still half asleep, with a dozen or so other travellers. Judging by the stickers on cases, we were all catching the same ship and, by pure coincidence, the person queuing before us happened to be staying in the cabin that was next to us. We were r _l _ e _ e _ to see that they didn’t seem the noisy, _ ro _ le _ at _ c or early riser types!

The coach driver had felt it prudent to stick the heat on full blast as we climbed abroad. It took a split second to feel 8 roasted and we were soon de te to take off all of our winter wear. Someone complained that it was far too hot so the driver i hed on the air con and we began to freeze. We didn’t know 9 whether to laugh or cry at the extremity of the temperature. Once this was sorted out, I settled down in my seat and pr ly fell asleep. For the next five hours I apparently snored my way down to the service station stop, much to the chagr of my poor parents, who could not believe that someone so small, could snore so loudly!

Cost before any reductions is £(49 + 35 + 18) = £102 10% of £102 is £10.20, so Kit will pay £102 − £10.20 = £91.80 £91.80 is < £100 so she does not qualify for the further 5% reduction. Rest of journey is (65 − 20) km = 45 km Time for rest of journey is (40 − 10) minutes = 30 minutes. So average speed is 45 km per half hour, which is 90 km per hour. Amount of cordial is 1 × 300 = 150 ml 2
Sunday
September has 30 days so 1 October is exactly one week after Sam’s birthday, so 8 October will be the same day of the week. If 10 October is Tuesday, 8 October was a Sunday, 1 October was a Sunday and 24 September was also a Sunday.

Perimeter is (24 × 2) + (11 × 2) = 48 + 22 = 70 m, so twice round is 70 × 2 = 140 m Six times its length is 6 × 24 = 144 m, so running up and down 6 times is 144 − 140 = 4 m longer than twice around the edge.

In Dubai time, 11pm + 9 hours is 8am. To convert Dubai time to London time subtract 3 hours, so local time in London will be 8am − 3 hours, which is 5am.
Each morning, the work takes 4 × 3 man hours = 12 work hours. If one keeper is away, the 12 work hours are shared between 3 keepers so the task will take 12 = 4 hours. 3

Non-verbal Reasoning 1

d
b
Alternate up-/down-facing triangles; shading pattern: lines, black, white, lines … so black next. Increasing–decreasing pattern for number of lines 1-2-3-4-3- ? so the next one has two lines; decreasing– increasing pattern of dots 4-3-2-1-2- ? so the next one has three dots.
3
d
The first two shapes both have two lines at right angles (so not a), an arrow head at one end, one circle (so not c) and one short line across one of the lines (so not b or e).
4
e
A regular shape overlapping an irregular shape (so not b, c or d) and with the overlap area shaded (so not a).
5
a
Three shapes connected by two short lines (so not b or c) and one shape shaded (so not d), leaving the choice between a and e. Option e has an additional short line across one of the connecting lines, which neither of the original two patterns has, so can be eliminated leaving the answer as a.
6
c
Given a regular pentagon (5 sides) to a square (4 sides), so a square will go to a regular (so not d) triangle (3 sides).
7
d
Three curved arrows radiating anticlockwise from a point becomes three straight arrows pointing clockwise around a regular triangle, so 5 curved arrows radiating anticlockwise becomes five straight arrows (so not b, c or e) pointing clockwise (so not a) round a pentagon.
8
d
9
e
10
e If you have difficulty identifying reflections, hold a mirror alongside the shape or pattern and look at the reflection in the mirror. This will show you what you are looking for. Some questions may give a dotted line indicating the mirror line – if not, first try imagining the mirror line as a vertical line to the right of the shape, or sometimes the mirror line, or line of reflection, may be a horizontal line above or below the shape. In particular, look carefully at the angle or direction of any shading lines.
10
11
c&e
12
c&d To find the solutions to these questions first check obvious elements and eliminate some options, then look carefully at the detail, remembering that shapes can be rotated.
13
e
Diagonally opposite squares in the grid are reflections of each other, so the bottom right square must be a reflection of the top left, imagining the mirror line going diagonally across the centre of the grid – so there will be a white smaller square with a black circle in the top left and a small black triangle across the bottom right.
14
c
In the grid, the circle within a smaller triangle has the same shading pattern as its adjacent triangle – the only triangular shading not represented is white so the missing triangle must have a white circle within it.
15
b
The two white circles are on faces that will be opposite each other in the folded cube so cannot be adjacent.
16
c
It is the point of the heart shape that is next to the face with the white circle, not the top of the heart, so the answer cannot be c.
17
d
18
d
Looking at the first letter, the two patterns with C have same arrow head, so first letter is for arrowhead style (B), the two patterns with Y both have one black circle each (and the other patterns have more or less) so the second letter is for the number of black circles (Z is for 2).
19
d
The patterns with same first letter are triangular flags so the first letter is for shape of flag (L for zigzag edge) and the second letter is for shape on flag (Q for triangle).
This is harder to visualise but in the net there are not any U-shapes in the same orientation that will be on adjacent faces, so d is not possible. If you find these cube puzzles hard, make a net and fold it up to see which faces end up adjacent.
20 1
c two patterns with A have a circle in Main Q The head
the same position, so first letter must numbered answer be position. The unknown pattern has a circle in a new position so may need a new letter. Check there are no other options – the only other variable in these patterns is the type of shading – the second letter is for shading type, so X is for white. Is there an option of a new fourth letter with an X? Yes – DX, so that is correct answer.
21
c
22
c Combining shapes questions just require very careful observation – use a pencil to trace over each element in each pattern if you find these hard to solve.
23
QCY
These more challenging codes require you to identify three features and then the correct letter – here the two shapes with P both have same arrowhead, so the first letter is for arrowhead (Q in end shape). The two with B both have white double line arrows so the letter is for arrow style (C in end shape). The two shapes with Y are both pointing anticlockwise and the two with Z are pointing clockwise (Y in end shape).
11
24
EAT
All three have a different first letter – and all three have a different pattern on the shield. The second letter is shield shape (A for end shape) and the third letter is for pattern along top edge, plain bar or zigzag, (so T for end shape). Back to the first letter – the end shape has a pattern matching the second shield drawn, so the first letter of code is E.
25
EMS
The two shapes with G both have one black circle so the first the letter is for number of black circles (E for end shape). Patterns with L both have one cross so the second letter is for number of crosses (M for end shape). The two patterns with S both have black shaded squares so the third letter is for shading of the squares (S for end pattern).
