Questions 21-24
Choose the correct letter, A, B, or C.

Write your answers in boxes 21-24 on your answer sheet.

21. According to Dr Whittaker, why was Lizard Island chosen as the project's monitoring site?

22. Which finding from the latest survey most surprised the team?

23. What does Dr Whittaker say about the long-term trend in coral bleaching at the site?

24. What do the two students disagree about?

(A) is incorrect. The species count is described as fairly average, not the richest.

(B) is correct. Dr Whittaker says Lizard Island was chosen for its longest unbroken survey record and exceptional baseline data.

(C) is incorrect. The site is not especially sheltered and has a busy shipping channel nearby.

Associated Text:
Researchers have been recording conditions at Lizard Island year after year since the 1970s, with no major gap in the survey record. That gives each new set of observations a very strong baseline.

(A) is incorrect. The high temperatures were striking but expected by the model.

(B) is incorrect. The script does not say the reef recovered rapidly.

(C) is correct. The team were most surprised by how few fish were left around the reef.

Associated Text:
The figures I kept checking were the fish counts. There were so few individuals around several transects that I wondered at first whether a survey sheet had been entered wrongly.

(A) is correct. Dr Whittaker says each successive heat event has caused worse bleaching and longer recovery times.

(B) is incorrect. He says the trend is not stabilising and corals are not adapting at population level.

(C) is incorrect. He says the trend is unambiguously worsening.

Associated Text:
In the more recent heat events, the pale areas extend further down into the colonies, and the recovery period has stretched out as well.

(A) is incorrect. They do not argue about adding monitoring sites.

(B) is incorrect. There is no disagreement about including temperature graphs.

(C) is correct. Daniel and Priya disagree about which species should appear in the headline section.

Associated Text:
I'd prefer to keep the original ten species from the 1975 survey, because then the comparison is cleaner.
Priya: And I think that would make the report look neater than the reef actually is now.

Questions 25-30
What action do the students decide is most needed for each section of their presentation?
  1. add expert quotes
  2. simplify the visuals
  3. cut the content
  4. make detailed notes
  5. expand the timeline
  6. add personal reflection
  7. practise the timing
  8. restructure the order

Write the correct letter A-H next to questions 25-30.

25. Introduction

26. Site selection

27. Data collection methods

28. Findings on bleaching

29. Comparison with 2010 study

30. Recommendations

The correct answer is D because Daniel says he loses the thread while delivering the introduction and needs fuller written prompts, so the required action is to make detailed notes.

Associated Text:
when I try to deliver it, I lose the thread halfway through. I think I need fuller prompts, almost a written version, so I can rehearse it without wandering.

The correct answer is C because Priya says the site-selection section has grown too large, and Daniel says they can remove the extra detail.

Associated Text:
Three slides on why Lizard Island was chosen feels more like background reading than part of a short presentation.
Daniel: Agreed. We can keep the baseline point and remove the extra detail.

The correct answer is H because the data collection methods contain useful information but present the fieldwork steps in a confusing sequence.

Associated Text:
The information itself is useful, but the sequence is confusing. We start with transects, jump to photographs, mention temperature loggers, and then come back to transects again.

The correct answer is A because Priya suggests using a short comment from Dr Hughes, who chairs the Reef research panel, to give the section outside authority.

Associated Text:
I was thinking of using a short comment from Dr Hughes. She chairs the Reef research panel, so a line from her would make that section feel less like just our interpretation.

The correct answer is G because Daniel says the comparison section pushed the talk beyond the time limit, and Priya suggests running it with a stopwatch.

Associated Text:
when we rehearsed it yesterday, that section pushed the whole talk well beyond the limit.
Priya: We should run it with a stopwatch and see where it drifts.

The correct answer is F because Priya and Daniel agree that the final recommendations should show what they think should happen next.

Associated Text:
I think we should say what we actually think should happen next, otherwise it ends rather cautiously.
Daniel: Yes, that's where our own position can come through.

Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the conversation.
