Answer — Exercise 1
Exam Skills Trainer 5·Solutions Advanced - Workbook
Question
Read the Strategy above and the gapped text in exercise 2. Read the paragraphs before and after gap 1 and missing paragraph D. Does paragraph D fit the gap? Why? / Why not?
Answer
Paragraph D does not fit the gap. It appears to fit the paragraph before the gap as it mentions a method for determining the age of a tree. However, the paragraph after the gap also mentions tree-dating, so it does not fit with Paragraph D. The missing paragraph needs to contain a method other than tree-dating in order to fit in the gap.
