Bah.. I know you have been waiting at the edge of your seats for these answers. For the first time in forever, my own students are taking S3.. so I have only just found the time to do these answers. Honestly, the reading paper is quite valid n reliable but the same CANNOT be said of the quality of the question esp in T1 of 800/4. Suffice to say they need better vetters up there.. who approved formal content in an informal format? Beats me. Pity the kids. Will there ever be a flawless set of exam papers? I can only hope, dream and wish.
Bah.. feel free to debate.. nevertheless, I'm quite confident this is a 40/40 attempt on my part as you can see from the evidence highlighted.

ReplyDeleteHi madam, I personally think the answer to question 34 should be A because the consequences mentioned are humans dying from the diseases thus why it's a "human misery".
