Passage Reference: Now, in the top left-hand corner, A walled flower garden is planned, with a rockery and a water feature with walkways, seats, and lots of shady areas for the summer.

Why this is correct: The label is next to the sports pitches on the same side of the path. The speaker says there will be an outdoor swimming pool beside the pitches.

Common Mistake: Some students write sports area because it is mentioned first, but that refers to the pitches and courts, not this exact spot. This is a distractor trap.

Why this is correct: The label is in the middle of the diagram. The speaker clearly says that in the centre of the park there will be an ornamental lake.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write just lake, but the speaker uses the full name ornamental lake. Writing only lake can lose marks. This is a partial truth trap.

Why this is correct: The diagram shows a building in the bottom left-hand corner near the main entrance. The speaker says there will be a block of 40 studio flats there.

Common Mistake: Students sometimes write only studio flats and forget the number. Missing the number makes the answer incomplete. This is a number trap.
