What this section tests
This section is tested with Matching Information (Q1–7), True / False / Not Given (Q8–13). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.
Questions 1–7: Matching Information
Strategy: Scan for the idea, not the exact words. The answer is a paragraph letter, and one paragraph may be used more than once unless the instructions say otherwise.
It is open for breakfast.
“Breakfast by the water”
Advertisement C advertises 'Breakfast by the water', so C is the restaurant that opens for breakfast.
It is open every night for dinner.
“7 nights”
Restaurant B lists '7 nights', meaning it serves dinner every evening of the week.
It is only open for lunch on weekdays.
“**Lunch:**Tuesday - Friday12 noon - 2.30 pm”
B's lunch service runs Tuesday to Friday only, so it offers lunch on weekdays and not at weekends.
It has recently returned to its previous location.
“The originalLuigi'sItalian Restaurantis now back in Aboyne”
Advertisement A says the original Luigi's Italian Restaurant 'is now back in Aboyne', so it has returned to its former location.
It welcomes families.
“Free ice cream for the kids”
The offer of 'Free ice cream for the kids' at A shows children are welcomed, so families are catered for.
It caters for large groups.
“Special functionsUp to 120 people”
A takes 'Special functions Up to 120 people', so it is the restaurant equipped for large groups.
It only opens at weekends.
“Saturday & Sunday 8.00 am to 11.00 am”
C's only listed hours are Saturday and Sunday morning, so it opens at weekends alone.
Questions 8–13: True / False / Not Given
Strategy: Judge the whole statement against the text. FALSE contradicts the passage; NOT GIVEN means the passage never addresses that specific claim.
If you want a receipt, you should send your payment to the Southport address.
“(A) No receipt required: Mail payments to: Coastside Power Locked Bag 2760 Southport NSW 3479 (B) Receipt required: Mail payments to: Coastside Power PO Box 560 Northbridge NSW 3472”
Receipt-required payments go to the Northbridge PO Box; Southport is used only when 'No receipt required'.
You may pay your account at branches of the Federal Bank.
“Payments can be made at any branch of the Federal Bank by completing the deposit slip attached to your account notice”
The notice states payments 'can be made at any branch of the Federal Bank' using the attached deposit slip.
You must pay the full amount, instalments are not permitted.
“Payment may be by personal cheque, bank cheque or cash”
Cheque, bank cheque or cash are listed as payment methods, but instalments and part payment are never discussed.
The Coastside Power Office is open on Saturday mornings.
“Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30 am to 4.30 pm”
Office hours are given as Monday to Friday, so the office is closed on Saturday mornings.
You may pay your account by phone using your credit card.
“Note: Payments cannot be made by phone”
A note states flatly that 'Payments cannot be made by phone', which rules out paying by credit card that way.
There is a reduction for prompt payment.
“After 1 July 1998, you may pay your electricity account in any of the following ways Payment may be by personal cheque, bank cheque or cash”
The notice gives payment methods and a 1 July 1998 date but says nothing about a discount for paying promptly.
