The device consisted of a little glass bead which was filled with acid and wrapped ina piece of paper. The paper had previously been soaked in special chemicals that would burst into flames if they came into contact with the acid, and then allowed to dry. To ignite the match, the user would break the bead with a small pair of pliers, whereupon the paper erupted into flames","cbCait9icMpTxR9k","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait9icMpTxR9k","pdf",661506,"English","# Instructions\n## Practice Questions (P1–P4)\n## Answer Check\n## Matches (Reading Passage)\n## Frogs (Reading Passage)","[{\"question\":\"How long is the English Language test and how many questions does it contain?\",\"answer\":\"The test has 40 minutes to complete and contains 45 questions.\"},{\"question\":\"How should answers be recorded for each question?\",\"answer\":\"Choose the ONE best answer (A, B, C, or D) and mark the corresponding oval on the separate answer sheet in the English Language section.\"},{\"question\":\"What should you do during the practice questions (P1–P4)?\",\"answer\":\"Read the given passage and answer P1 and P2; then complete the other practice items within five minutes, put your pencil down when finished, and do not turn any pages.\"}]","Selective High Schools Test 2001 - English Language Test 1 | PDF",1790770091]
