Correct Answer: Raven’s progress at school.

Why this is correct: The opening asks about Raven in class; the discussion covers his work, group participation and seating.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • The school’s upcoming events.: The discussion concerns Raven rather than upcoming school events.
  • The date of Raven’s next exam.: No exam date is discussed.
  • Activities for Raven to do at home.: His behaviour at home is background, not a request for home activities.

Correct Answer: He disturbs the other children.

Why this is correct: The teacher directly describes disturbing other children after he finishes.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • He asks for extra work.: Extra work is not the stated next action.
  • He leaves the classroom.: The teacher does not say he leaves.
  • He helps the teacher mark work.: Marking work is not described.

Correct Answer: He usually stayed quiet.

Why this is correct: The teacher says he used to be very quiet in group discussions.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • He regularly helped the other children.: Helping others does not describe his earlier participation.
  • He argued with the teacher.: Being quiet does not establish arguing.
  • He volunteered to lead the group.: Leading a group conflicts with the described quiet behaviour.

Correct Answer: He now answers questions and joins in with rhymes.

Why this is correct: The teacher contrasts earlier silence with answering questions and singing rhymes now.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • He now finishes all his work more slowly.: Work speed is not the reported improvement.
  • He now prefers to work alone instead of joining the group.: He now joins the group rather than withdrawing.
  • He now refuses to speak to the teacher one-to-one.: His one-to-one performance was already good; refusal is not reported.

Correct Answer: Raven has not been allowed to sit with his friends.

Why this is correct: The mother relays Raven’s complaint about sitting with friends.

Tips: Use the stated detail and the person or time asked about.

Why the other options are wrong:

  • Raven has been made to stand during lessons.: The complaint is about who sits beside him, not standing.
  • Raven cannot take his exams in the classroom.: Exams are not the issue.
  • She was not told where the meeting would be.: The meeting location is not her complaint.
