Passage Reference: Crime dramas such as CSI and Waking the Dead may have helped fuel a rise of nearly a third in the number of students taking degree courses in forensic and archaeological science.

Common Mistake: Some students choose entirely from the box. That is wrong because the passage is cautious and says may have helped, not that TV caused everything. This is an Extreme language trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'may have helped fuel' = Summary: 'partly responsible'

Tips: Watch for cautious verbs like may. They usually mean a partial cause, not a total one.

Key Vocabulary:

• fuel = cause
• partly = not completely

Question Focus: Action of students choosing courses

Correct Answer: opting

Passage Reference: in the number of students taking degree courses in forensic and archaeological science.

Why this is correct: The passage says students are taking degree courses. In the summary, this idea is paraphrased as students opting for courses.

Common Mistake: Students may choose selection because it looks related. But selection is a noun and does not fit the verb structure here. This is a Grammar fit trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'students taking degree courses' = Summary: 'students opting for courses'

Tips: Check if the gap needs a verb or noun. The word form matters as much as meaning.

Key Vocabulary:

• opt for = choose
• degree course = university subject

Question Focus: What increased at the same time as student numbers

Correct Answer: popularity

Passage Reference: The explosion in fictional and documentary screen portrayals of scientific analysis of crime scenes and cold case reviews has coincided with a 32.4% increase in undergraduates

Why this is correct: An explosion in screen portrayals means the shows became more popular. This happened at the same time as student numbers rose.

Common Mistake: Some students choose portrayed, but that describes how jobs appear on TV, not how popular the programs are. This is a Context shift trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'explosion in screen portrayals' = Summary: 'increase in the popularity'

Tips: When you see 'increase in the ___', expect a noun, not a verb.

Key Vocabulary:

• explosion = rapid increase
• coincide = happen at the same time

Question Focus: Comparison with other subjects

Correct Answer: compared

Passage Reference: and though this was lower than the 11,045 following chemistry or 9,348 doing physics, the growth dwarfed the 2% and 0.9% rise in these more traditional subjects.

Why this is correct: The passage contrasts growth in forensic subjects with chemistry and physics. The summary signals this contrast using compared.

Common Mistake: Choosing alternatively is tempting, but it suggests a choice, not a comparison. This is a Paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'the growth dwarfed the rise' = Summary: 'when compared to increases'

Tips: Words like dwarfed usually signal a comparison. Look for compare-type words.

Key Vocabulary:

• dwarf = be much bigger than
• traditional = long-established

Question Focus: Matching two figures to two subjects

Correct Answer: respectively

Passage Reference: the growth dwarfed the 2% and 0.9% rise in these more traditional subjects.

Why this is correct: The passage gives two subjects and two numbers. Respectively shows that 2% matches chemistry and 0.9% matches physics in the same order.

Common Mistake: Students may skip this word, but without respectively, the sentence is unclear. This is a Grammar clarity trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'chemistry ... physics ... 2% and 0.9%' = Summary: '2% and 0.9%, respectively'

Tips: When you see two items and two numbers, check if respectively is needed.

Key Vocabulary:

• respectively = in the same order
• figure = number

Question Focus: How jobs appear on television

Correct Answer: portrayed

Passage Reference: "But there is a rise in programmes like Waking the Dead and CSI and there is a sort of glamour involved.

Why this is correct: Emsley says these programs make the work look glamorous. That means the jobs are portrayed in an attractive way on TV.

Common Mistake: Some students choose illustrated, but the passage is about how jobs are shown, not explained with pictures. This is a Paraphrase trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'a sort of glamour involved' = Summary: 'jobs portrayed on TV'

Tips: Think about meaning first, then check if the word fits grammatically.

Key Vocabulary:

• portray = show
• glamour = attractiveness

Question Focus: Other areas where skills can be used

Correct Answer: sectors

Passage Reference: Because they have a command of numeracy, mass data handling and analytic skills, they also go into banking, insurance and the City.

Why this is correct: The passage explains that graduates can work in banking, insurance and the City. These are different sectors of employment.

Common Mistake: Choosing job is wrong because the passage mentions many areas, not one job. This is a Partial truth trap.

Paraphrasing: Passage: 'banking, insurance and the City' = Summary: 'other sectors'

Tips: Plural clues like other usually require a plural noun.

Key Vocabulary:

• sector = area of work
• numeracy = number skills

General Tips:

• Summary completion follows passage order. Use the previous answer to find the next one quickly.
• Always choose words from the word box that fit both meaning and grammar.
• Be careful with extreme words like entirely when the passage uses cautious language like may.
• Check word form carefully. Noun, verb, or adverb mistakes are very common.
