Answer and Explanation

Explanation & Paraphrasing:
Full worker – is this information given in the passage? Yes, it is because word “workers” refers to all types of workers.
Need = required
doctors note = medical certificate
in a row = continuous
for 4 days = this does not match. The passage says that someone needs to be sick for MORE THAN 4 days to need a doctors note.

The information in the statement is given in the passage but it does not match the passage because people do not need a sick note for being sick for 4 days – they need a sick note for more than 4 days.

Answer = FALSE

Well done to all students who got the answer right 🙂

    Very tricky question…………but its worth to know this.

  11. I chose not given because i thought workers were not clarified if they were full or part-timers, secondly, i didn’t notice the
    MORE THAN and assumed it to be right.

    My test is on the 24th of september, and i feel like both my reading and writing are poor. What tips and advice will you give me so as to improve this short time im left with.

  27. True

  28. LENILSON DA SILVA GOMES says

    OMG, I mad a huge mistake answering TRUE, first I did not know the meaning of “in the row”, secondly I did not pay attention to one important detail ” more than”, anyway I can notice how much I need to improve.
