Answers and Explanations Mock Test 2Question 13 - CLooking at the question, we need to look for areas of overlap. The easiest ones to rule outare the ones that involve the fewest categories. Let’s start with A. Scuba diving is apentagon, and there is an area in the pentagon that is not overlapping with other regions.We can therefore rule A out, as scuba diving is available as a sole activity.Next look at the answers with two categories. B and C fit this description. We need to lookfor an overlap of a pentagon and diamond for B, and we see that so B can be ruled out.We need to look for an overlap of a diamond and an arrowhead for C - these two do notoverlap, therefore C is the correct answer.Question 14 - B• A is not a valid reason for the UK to also have military service. Just because one country is doing it, it does not mean it is successful. The statement also does not address how it will affect future careers.• B is the correct answer as it gives examples of how the military service could help someone gain skills.• C is a good reason, but it does not focus on how it will affect 18 year olds careers, but instead focuses on how it will influence the economy.• D is an assumption based on a lack of evidence.Question 15 - CAs we learnt in Tutorial 4: Venn Diagrams, when you get this type of Implicit Text to Vennquestion, they will not explicitly tell you to draw a Venn Diagram.

Let us investigate:The number of people with fries = X + Y + 11The number of people with apple pie = X+YBy inspection we can see that 11 more people had fries than apple pie.D.
