Questions 13–23: Table Completion
Strategy: Work row by row. The row label tells you where to look; the column heading tells you what kind of word you need.
“it was in fact opened by the Prime Minister of Australia in November 1991”
The museum was 'opened by the Prime Minister of Australia in November 1991', so that month and year are recorded.
“But the museum isn’t only housed in this building, there are a number of historic ships docked outside in the harbour which form part of the museum and which you are also free to visit, and we’ll be coming to them shortly”
Historic ships are 'docked outside in the harbour which form part of the museum', so historic ships.
“Follow the signs to the Education Centre — you’ll see a lot of little green arrows on the wall. The green arrows will take you there”
The way to the Education Centre is marked by 'a lot of little green arrows on the wall'.
“The information desk, marked with the small letter i on your plan is located right here in the foyer, so if you get separated from your friends, I suggest you make your way back to the information desk because we’ll be returning to this spot at the end of the tour”
The desk 'marked with the small letter i on your plan' is the information desk in the foyer.

Tours of the Vampire 'run on the hour every hour', so every hour is the frequency.
“There’s a continuous video showing today about the voyages of Captain Cook, so come back here later on if you want to learn more about Captain Cook”
A continuous video shows 'the voyages of Captain Cook', so Captain Cook is the subject.
“This is one of our permanent exhibitions and here we try to give you an idea of the many different ways in which Australians have enjoyed their time by the sea: surfing, swimming, lifesaving clubs, that’s all very much a part of Australian culture”
The exhibition shows the ways Australians 'enjoyed their time by the sea', so the sea is the theme.

The Picture Gallery holds 'a marvellous collection of paintings all by Australian artists'.

Membership costs '$50 a year or $70 for all the family', so the family rate is 70.
