(should there be any) and its future projections as disclosed in the company's

Business plan.

Capitalist to maximise its initial ownership interest.

Part 6

What you have to do

This part of the examination consists of a single, long, law-related text. It is

Followed by six multiple-choice questions, each with four options. The multiple

Choice may take the form of a question about an idea or an opinion expressed in

The text, about a word or phrase used in the text, or about the meaning of a

Paragraph in the text. A question may consist of an incomplete sentence which you

Have to complete by selecting the correct option.

What is being tested

The task tests your ability to read a text for detail. It requires you to be able to

Recognise and understand implication and opinion, and to be able to identify the

Detailed meaning of a paragraph, as well as what individual words refer to.

Tips

As with the other longer exam tasks, it is advisable to skim the text first in order to orient

Yourself, and then to read through the questions quickly. When reading the text carefully a

Second time, you should pay attention to detail.

Remember that when you are asked about opinions or viewpoints expressed in the text, you

Should answer according to the information contained in the text, and not according to your

Own opinions or knowledge.

The function of a paragraph can often be determined more easily by identifying the main or

Topic sentence of that paragraph.
