Why not visit Wales and go to a festival?

Question 1

D

Where: Paragraph D
Sentence in the passage: Craft Festival Cardiff (formerly Made by Hand Cardiff) moved to City Hall, Cardiff in 2014.
Why: Advert D tells readers the event is now called Craft Festival Cardiff, with the old name given in brackets as Made by Hand Cardiff. No other advert mentions a previous title, so D is the only match. The word "formerly" is the signal that the name has changed, which the question puts as "used to be known by a different name".

Question 2

E

Where: Paragraph E
Sentence in the passage: All funds raised will be distributed to organisations that help people in need.
Why: Only Sparks in the Park says what happens to its income. Money raised goes to organisations that help people in need, which is another way of saying charities. Festival of Senses and the others mention free entry or workshops but never where any money ends up, so E is the single advert that fits.

Question 3

C

Where: Paragraph C
Sentence in the passage: Do visit us for light snacks and to view our wide range of goods, all produced in the area by our cooks, crafters and growers.
Why: Advert C describes light snacks and goods that are all produced in the area by local cooks, crafters and growers. That covers the idea of refreshments made locally. Advert A also sells food, but it says nothing about where the food comes from, so it cannot be chosen. Locality is what makes C correct.

Question 4

A

Where: Paragraph A
Sentence in the passage: This year it's going to be bigger and better than ever.
Why: Advert A promises the Winter Food and Craft Festival will be "bigger and better than ever" this year. Because it is described as back again, being bigger means it has grown since the previous event. Sparks in the Park gives a crowd size, but nothing says that has risen, so it does not match.

Question 5

D

Where: Paragraph D
Sentence in the passage: There is a range of bookable workshops for all ages.
Why: Advert D says its workshops are bookable and that most sell out quickly. Together these tell you to reserve a place early, which is how the question's advice to reserve is expressed. The children's workshops there are free, but the question is about activities where booking is wise, so only D fits.

Question 6

B

Where: Paragraph B
Sentence in the passage: On 1st and 2nd November, Other Voices makes its way from its home in Dingle on the west coast of Ireland to the town of Cardigan on the west coast of Wales, for a phenomenal weekend which celebrates the longstanding cultural and musical ties between these regions.
Why: Other Voices travels from Dingle in Ireland to Cardigan in Wales, so the event is held in more than one country. Every other advert is based in a single Welsh town or city. The cross-border move, plus the mention of ties between the two regions, makes B the only possible answer.

Question 7

B

Where: Paragraph B
Sentence in the passage: Over the weekend we will showcase a line-up of over 30 free musical and cultural events, featuring incredible vocal performances.
Why: Advert B offers more than 30 free events with incredible vocal performances, so visitors can hear singers without paying. Festival of Senses is also free, but it offers stalls and a market, not singing. The pairing of free admission and vocal acts appears in only one advert, B.

Question 8

TRUE

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 3
Sentence in the passage: The series of lessons provides you with the opportunity to learn additional skills that will help you to anticipate hazards when you are driving and turn you into a more systematic and disciplined road user.
Why: The text says the lessons teach you to anticipate hazards while driving. Anticipating hazards means predicting problems ahead on the road, so the statement matches the passage and is TRUE. The wording changes, but the meaning does not: the course aims to build exactly this skill alongside discipline and system.

Question 9

FALSE

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 4
Sentence in the passage: Each available course differs in structure depending on the company that you choose to use.
Why: Courses differ in structure depending on the company, so there is no single standard format. The passage does say all courses share the same goal, which might tempt you towards TRUE, but a shared goal is not a shared format. The statement says the format is standard for every course, so it is contradicted.

Question 10

TRUE

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 4
Sentence in the passage: And as well as producing safer drivers, the advanced driving course may help reduce your fuel consumption and keep your car in better shape for longer.
Why: Besides making drivers safer, the course may help reduce fuel consumption. Using less petrol is the same thing as lowering fuel use, and learning to drive more efficiently is how the course would achieve it. The text states this benefit directly, so the statement agrees with it and is TRUE.

Question 11

NOT GIVEN

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 8
Sentence in the passage: IAM Roadsmart offers a number of different advanced packages, including courses intended for users of both cars and motorcycles.
Why: The IAM Roadsmart section lists the packages it offers and says a local expert is matched to you, but it never says whether the courses are spreading to new areas. Nothing about growth or new locations appears. Because the idea of becoming available in more places is simply absent, the answer is NOT GIVEN.

Question 12

TRUE

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 7
Sentence in the passage: Once you have purchased the course, the company will match you with a local expert who will observe your driving habits over a series of lessons.
Why: After purchase, the company matches you with one local expert who observes your driving over a series of lessons and then gives personalised feedback. One learner and one instructor is exactly a one-to-one arrangement. No group teaching is mentioned, so the statement is TRUE.

Question 13

NOT GIVEN

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 8
Sentence in the passage: IAM Roadsmart offers a number of different advanced packages, including courses intended for users of both cars and motorcycles.
Why: The passage says IAM Roadsmart packages are for car and motorcycle users, but it does not say whether any are meant for people who drive for a living. Car and motorbike users could be private or professional, so the text leaves the point open. That absence makes the answer NOT GIVEN.

Question 14

FALSE

Where: Passage 1, paragraph 10
Sentence in the passage: The BAC also has a course intended to help improve confidence for more general road use.
Why: The BAC does offer courses for specific difficulties such as night driving, yet it also has a course to build confidence for general road use. That general course shows its lessons are not limited to people with particular needs. The word "only" in the statement is therefore wrong, so it is FALSE.
