It’s good for you to have hobbies. They help keep you happy and relaxed so you can also study harder.”  \nWhich one of these statements, if true, most strengthens Aida’s argument?  \nA Artistic or creative skills are seen as important skills for engineers to have.  \nB Tom’s latest school report said that he wasn’t studying hard enough.  \nC Tom’s school encourages its students to have at least one hobby.  \nD Learning to draw well also often takes hard work and concentration.  \n3 “Whoever stole the money must have had both an opportunity and a motive.”  \nIf this is true, which one of these sentences must also be true?  \nA If Finn had both an opportunity and a motive, he must have stolen the money. B If Finn did not steal the money, he cannot have had an opportunity.  \nC If Finn did not steal the money, he cannot have had a motive.  \nD If Finn did not have a motive, he cannot have stolen the money.  \n4 A digital display consists of seven segments which light up in different combinations to produce digits. For example, to display the digit ‘1’ the two right-hand segments normally light up as shown:  \nThe display is used to show, in sequence, each of the digits 0 to 9. However, the display is faulty and two of the segments are not working. Two of the digits in the sequence are displayed as follows:  \nthen   \nWhat is the next number in the sequence, as shown by the faulty display?  \nA  \nC  \nB  \nD  \n5  \nAt the end of each term, Mr Chen gives scores in reading and writing to each student in his English class.
