PASSAGE 1: HENRY MOORE (1898 – 1986 )

QUESTIONS 1-7: DO THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS AGREE WITH THE INFORMATION GIVEN IN READING PASSAGE 1?

1. Answer: TRUE

Key words: leaving school, Moore, did, father, wanted

It is mentioned in the first paragraph that “After leaving school, Moore hoped to become a sculptor, but instead he complied with his father’s wish”. To ‘comply with something’ means to ‘agree to or obey something’, so Moore agreed to do what his father wished. Thus, this statement is clearly true.

• 
  want = wish
  
• 
  Answer: TRUE.
  

2. Answer: FALSE

Key words: began, sculpture, first term, Leeds School of Art

By skimming the proper noun ‘Leeds School of Art’, we can find information in paragraph 2 saying that “Although he wanted to study sculpture, no teacher was appointed until his second year”. This means that he could not have studied sculpture in his first year, not to mention his first term. Thus, the answer is FALSE.
