For questions 41-55, read the text below and look carefully at each line. Some of the
lines are correct, and some have a word which should not be there. If a line is correct
put a tick (�) by the number. If a line has a word which should not be there, write the
word beside it. There are two examples at the beginning (0 and 00).
                              VISIT TO THE TOWER
__to__ 0 We reached to the Tower at ten o’clock in the morning.
__�__ 00 The first thing we saw was the large queue already stretching
______ 41 a good way along the path. But the Tower it looked so big
______ 42 that we were sure there must to be room for us all inside.
______ 43 We joined with the queue and waited. British people are better at
______ 44 this queueing business than us as I have learned from living here.
______ 45 Finally the doors opened, we paid our money, and went in and
______ 46 began finding out our way round the Tower. I was surprised
______ 47 to see so very much armour – the metal worn by fighting men.
______ 48 And I was very frightened when I saw that where so many
______ 49 people had had their heads cut off by the man with the
______ 50 axe. Altogether I did found the Tower rather frightening
______ 51 but I did much like the uniforms worn by the ‘Beefeaters’,
______ 52 as they have call them, and also liked the large black birds
______ 53 which are as part of the tradition of the Tower. But I am
______ 54 very glad that I was never sent there for doing something
______ 55 wrong. I would myself have been too frightened to survive.

For questions 56—65, read the text below. Use the word given in capitals at the end of
each line to form a word that fits in the space on the same line. There is an example at
the beginning (0).
                         THE BUSINESS OF ADVERTISING
Many (0)surprising claims are made for advertising, not least its supposed power and
amazing (56)__ to sell anybody anything. There is an (57)__ truth about this but
sometimes advertising seems a (58)__ waste of time. Fruit for example often looks
more (59)__ in the well-lit ads than in its natural (60)__ and certainly more (61)__ than
on the shelves of the local supermarkets. However this never acts as a (62)__ to judge
by the ever-increasing (63)__ of fruit reported by the shops. Whatever the (64)__ there
seems to be very little (65)__ that in this case it has anything to do with the business of
advertising.
