21

22

(A) is correct. Both students agree the V&A workshop visit was one of the two most useful introductory resources.

(B) is incorrect. The image archive was only an OK reference.

(C) is correct. The recording supports this option: museum curator's lecture.

(D) is incorrect. The image archive, textbook, and brainstorm are all described as less useful.

(E) is incorrect. The image archive, textbook, and brainstorm are all described as less useful.

Associated Text:
The V&A session was different, though. Once the chairs were in front of us, not just on a screen, the scale and materials became much clearer.

(A) is correct. Both students agree the V&A workshop visit was one of the two most useful introductory resources.

(B) is incorrect. The image archive was only an OK reference.

(C) is correct. The recording supports this option: museum curator's lecture.

(D) is incorrect. The image archive, textbook, and brainstorm are all described as less useful.

(E) is incorrect. The image archive, textbook, and brainstorm are all described as less useful.

Associated Text:
Dr Bell's lecture helped too, didn't it? I liked the way she kept asking who would actually have bought each chair, and what kind of home it belonged in.

Questions 23-24
Choose two letters A-E.

Write your answers in boxes 23-24 on your answer sheet.

Which TWO changes do the students decide to make to their project proposal?
  1. add more evaluative notes
  2. narrow the timeline
  3. include a video clip
  4. remove the comparative case study
  5. widen the target audience

23

24

(A) is incorrect. Jonas says more evaluation is not the real weakness.

(B) is correct. Erin says she is cutting the timeline down to the middle decades, and Jonas says he should do that too.

(C) is incorrect. The students explicitly decide not to add evaluative notes, include a video clip, or broaden the audience.

(D) is correct. The recording supports this option: remove the comparative case study.

(E) is incorrect. The students explicitly decide not to add evaluative notes, include a video clip, or broaden the audience.

Associated Text:
my century wide timeline made the project feel like a catalogue, and she was right. I'm cutting it down to the middle decades, so I can actually say something meaningful about each chair.

(A) is incorrect. Jonas says more evaluation is not the real weakness.

(B) is correct. Erin says she is cutting the timeline down to the middle decades, and Jonas says he should do that too.

(C) is incorrect. The students explicitly decide not to add evaluative notes, include a video clip, or broaden the audience.

(D) is correct. The recording supports this option: remove the comparative case study.

(E) is incorrect. The students explicitly decide not to add evaluative notes, include a video clip, or broaden the audience.

Associated Text:
My bigger problem is that extra comparison section. It sounded clever when I added it, but now it distracts from the main set of chairs.

Questions 25-30
Which personal meaning do the students decide to give to each chair?
  1. childhood memory
  2. hope for the future
  3. simplicity of form
  4. sense of luxury
  5. respect for craftsmanship
  6. confidence in technology
  7. protest against tradition
  8. connection to nature

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

25. Wassily chair (Breuer)

26. Eames lounge chair

27. Egg chair (Jacobsen)

28. Panton chair

29. Wishbone chair (Wegner)

30. Red and Blue chair (Rietveld)

The correct answer is F because the Wassily chair is linked to confidence in new industrial materials, especially tubular steel.

Associated Text:
The angle I would use is Breuer treating tubular steel as if a factory material could belong in someone's living room. There's a real belief there that modern production could improve design.

The correct answer is D because the Eames lounge chair is described as upmarket, made with fine leather and rosewood veneer, and carrying a high price tag.

Associated Text:
Leather, rosewood, a high price from the beginning, it feels more like comfort with status attached.

The correct answer is A because Jonas connects the Egg chair with his grandmother's hallway and says it makes him return to a childhood memory.

Associated Text:
My grandmother had one in dark green wool in her hallway. I remember curling up in it when I was little, almost hidden inside the shell.

The correct answer is B because the Panton chair is presented as a deliberate image of future furniture, pointing forward rather than back.

Associated Text:
It still feels as if it belongs a few decades ahead of its own date.
Erin: Yes, that makes sense.

The correct answer is E because the Wishbone chair is described through its hand shaped back, woven paper cord seat, and joints, so craftsmanship is the focus.

Associated Text:
You notice the hand shaped back and the woven paper cord seat before anything else.
Jonas: And the joints. It really asks you to think about the person who made it.

The correct answer is G because the Red and Blue chair is described as deliberately challenging older chair conventions.

Associated Text:
The straight lines, the primary colours, the lack of ornament, it is pushing against what older furniture was supposed to be.

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