What this section tests

This section is tested with Note Completion (Q15–21), Flow Chart Completion (Q22–27). Each section below gives the strategy for that question type, the answers, and the sentence that proves them.

Questions 15–21: Note Completion

Strategy: Predict the word class from the note, find the paraphrase of the note's keyword in the passage, then copy the answer exactly within the word limit.

Q15Emails
“your employer may use an automated software programme to check the emails you receive at work”

Employers may use software 'to check the emails you receive at work', so emails is the noun.

Q16Impact assessment
“Before deciding whether to introduce monitoring, your employer should identify any negative effects the monitoring may have on staff. This is called impact assessment”

Identifying 'any negative effects the monitoring may have on staff ... is called impact assessment', so that phrase fits.

Q17Equipment
“Your employer can legally monitor your use of electronic communications in the workplace if the monitoring relates to the business and the equipment being monitored is provided partly or wholly for work”

Monitoring is lawful when 'the equipment being monitored is provided partly or wholly for work', so equipment fits.

Q18Quality
“listening in to phone calls to assess the quality of your work”

Monitoring may involve 'listening in to phone calls to assess the quality of your work', so quality is the noun.

Q19Crime
“Monitoring is also allowed if its purpose is to prevent or detect crime”

Monitoring is allowed 'if its purpose is to prevent or detect crime', so crime fits the gap.

Q20virusesalso accepted: computer viruses
“Monitoring is also allowed if its purpose is to prevent or detect crime. It may be necessary to make sure electronic systems are operating effectively, for example, to prevent computer viruses entering the system”

Systems are checked 'to prevent computer viruses entering the system', so viruses is the answer.

Q21helplinesalso accepted: confidential helplines
“Your employer is also allowed to listen in to any calls you make to confidential helplines, but in this case he or she is not allowed to record these calls”

Employers may listen to calls to 'confidential helplines', though recording them is forbidden.

Questions 22–27: Flow Chart Completion

Strategy: Follow the arrows in order. Each stage usually maps to one sentence or one clause in the passage.

Q22Questionnaire
“To apply, first use our questionnaire to see if you meet the criteria to get into the IEC pools”

Applicants 'first use our questionnaire to see if you meet the criteria', so questionnaire fits.

Q23Account
“you should use to create your online account”

The questionnaire result is used 'to create your online account', so account is the noun.

Q2410 daysalso accepted: ten days
“If you are sent an invitation to proceed with your application, you will have 10 days to decide whether to accept this or not”

After an invitation, 'you will have 10 days to decide whether to accept', so 10 days fits.

Q25Complete
“You then have 20 days to complete your application”

Successful applicants then 'have 20 days to complete your application', so the verb complete fits.

Q26Employer
“For International Co-op and Young Professionals categories, your employer in Canada must pay the compliance fee and inform you of your offer of employment number”

For some categories 'your employer in Canada must pay the compliance fee', so employer is the answer.

Q27Refund
“You can apply to withdraw at this stage and will be given a refund if you do this within 56 days”

Withdrawing within 56 days means 'you will be given a refund', so refund fills the gap.
