Q148 D.
‘The passage “Bubbly and burgers” is mainly concerned with “
the mean­
ing of passing off
”.’
There is no single sentence that reflects this answer. 
You need to have read the entire text to make your choice, and in doing so, 
eliminate answers A, B and C. Answer A ‘Champagne and McDonald’s’ 
might appear to be the right answer to someone who has not read the
passage because it identifies with ‘Bubbly and burgers’ but the passage
is concerned with ‘passing off’; answer B ‘“copycat” food and drink’ looks

Q149 A.
(second paragraph) ‘In the passage the author states that 
sparkling 
wine
‘is
 not Champagne
 unless it 
originates from
 the Champagne region’
. 
This answer is reflected in 
‘
The Champagne growers of France have 
successfully
defended the Champagne brand 
against any
sparkling 
wine
 
produced outside the Champagne region’.
(Q149c is a distracter for the 
false answer C.)
Q150 B.
(third paragraph) ‘In the passage the author states that ‘
Elderflower cham-
pagne ‘is 
similar to Champagne in the foam it produces
’
. This statement 
is reflected in ‘It self­ferments to 
produce Champagne-like foam
when the 
bottle is opened’. Q150a is a distracter sentence for answers C and D; 
Q150b is a distracter sentence for answer A (‘is a non­alcoholic Champagne’ 
is very different to ‘might believe it is non­alcoholic Champagne’).
