Questions 31–33: 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 looks and tastes rather like rabbit, though it’s slightly darker in colour, but it is rather tough, so that’s a problem for some people”
Kangaroo meat 'looks and tastes rather like rabbit', so rabbit is the comparison the table wants.
“The kangaroo is one animal that’s now being farmed for its meat and eaten outside Australia, where it comes from. It looks and tastes rather like rabbit, though it’s slightly darker in colour, but it is rather tough, so that’s a problem for some people”
Its texture is the problem, since 'it is rather tough', which the speaker calls a problem for some people.
“ostrich, which most people say has a similar taste and texture to beef”
Ostrich is said to have 'a similar taste and texture to beef', so beef is the comparison.
