The maximum mark for this paper is 80.  \nSource A  \nThis extract is the opening of ‘The Invisible Man’, a short detective story by G. K. Chesterton, first published in 1911.  \nIn the cool blue twilight of two steep streets in Camden Town, the shop at the corner, a confectioner’s,1 glowed like the butt of a cigar. One should rather say, perhaps, like the butt of a firework, for the light was of many colours and some complexity, broken up by many mirrorsand dancing on many gilt and gaily-coloured cakes and sweetmeats. Against this one fiery glass  \n5 were glued the noses of many gutter-snipes,2 for the chocolates were all wrapped in those red and gold and green metallic colours which are almost better than chocolate itself; and the huge white wedding-cake in the window was somehow at once remote and satisfying, just as if the whole North Pole were good to eat. Such rainbow provocations could naturally collect the youth of the neighbourhood up to the ages of ten or twelve. But this corner was also attractive to youth at a  \n10 later stage; and a young man, not less than twenty-four, was staring into the same shop window. To him, also, the shop was of fiery charm, but this attraction was not wholly to be explained by chocolates; which, however, he was far from despising.  \nHe was a tall, burly, red-haired young man, with a resolute face but a listless manner. He carried under his arm a flat, grey portfolio of black-and-white sketches, which he had sold with more  \n15 or less success to publishers ever since his uncle (who was an admiral) had disinherited him for Socialism, because of a lecture which he had delivered against that economic theory. His name was John Turnbull Angus.  \nEntering at last, he walked through the confectioner’s shop to the back room, which was a sort of pastry-cook restaurant, merely raising his hat to the young lady who was serving there. She  \n20 was a dark, elegant, alert girl in black, with a high colour and very quick, dark eyes; and after the ordinary interval she followed him into the inner room to take his order.  \nHis order was evidently a usual one. ‘I want, please,’ he said with precision, ‘one halfpenny bun and a small cup of black coffee.’ An instant before the girl could turn away he added, ‘Also, I want you to marry me.’  \n1 confectioner – a maker or seller of sweets and pastries  \n2 gutter-snipes – ‘street’ children  \nPractice Exam Papers  \nSection A: Reading  \nAnswer all questions in this section.  \nYou are advised to spend about 45 minutes on this section.  \n1 Read again the first paragraph of Source A.  \nList four things that can be seen through the window of the confectioner’s shop.
