Questions 16-20
Label the plan of Westmoor Castle below.
Choose Write the correct letter A-H for each answer.
16Starting point for walking the walls
17Bow and arrow display
18Hunting birds display
19Traditional dancing
20Shop
The correct answer is A because the wall walk starts at the Southgate after going straight up the path from the main entrance, and that starting point is labelled A.
Associated Text: From the main entrance, if you go straight up the path until you reach the Southgate, the steps up onto the walls are right there, just inside the grounds. That's where the wall walk begins for anyone who would like a good overall view of the castle. Please don't carry on as far as the Northgate, there's no way up onto the walls from that side
The correct answer is G because the bow and arrow display is reached by taking the left-hand path closest to the main entrance and following it past the bridge to the end, which is G.
Associated Text: Back near the entrance, take the left hand path closest to it and keep going past the bridge; the archery display, where experienced archers show off their skill with the bow and arrow, is straight ahead at the very end of that path.
The correct answer is C because the hunting birds display is on the right after turning off just before the Southgate, past the tower there, matching C on the plan.
Associated Text: If you prefer animals, head again from the main entrance towards the Southgate, but turn off to the right just before you reach the gate instead of going through it. The hunting birds display is on your right, just past the tower you come to there.
The correct answer is H because the traditional dancing is on the open-air stage on the far side of the castle from the main entrance, beyond the bridge, which is H.
Associated Text: Over on the far side of the castle from the main entrance, beyond the bridge, you'll find the open air stage where the traditional dancing starts at three o'clock; it's about a ten minute walk from where we'll be.
The correct answer is B because the shop is inside one of the towers but entered from outside after following the left-hand path from the entrance and then turning right towards the tower doorway, and that location is B.
Associated Text: The gift shop is also tucked into one of the towers, but the entrance is on the outside, so from the entrance area you follow that same left hand path and then take the right hand turn that leads around to the tower doorway.
Note: After the instruction audio, you will have 20 seconds to look at questions before listening to the
