Question 1
Case Alpha addresses Researching and referencing practices (Harvard style and others); Case
Beta addresses Methodological differences and philosophical assumptions underlying alternative
perspectives. Which summary correctly identifies their distinct subject areas?
A. Alpha concerns Academic Writing Skills; Beta concerns Crime and Society.
B. Alpha concerns Academic Writing Skills; Beta concerns Behaviorist, Psychodynamic, Humanistic,
Cognitive, and Biological.
C. Alpha concerns Behaviorist, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive, and Biological; Beta concerns
Academic Writing Skills.
D. Alpha concerns Lifespan development; Beta concerns Behaviorist, Psychodynamic, Humanistic,
Cognitive, and Biological.
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Academic Writing Skills includes researching and referencing practices (Harvard style and others).
Behaviorist, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive, and Biological includes methodological differences
and philosophical assumptions underlying alternative perspectives. A: Beta is most directly associated
with Behaviorist, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive, and Biological, not Crime and Society. C: This
reverses the associations: the first concern fits Academic Writing Skills, and the second fits Behaviorist,
Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive, and Biological. D: Alpha is most directly associated with
Academic Writing Skills, not Lifespan development.
Question 2
A comparison of Social Care Provisions and Family Structures and Dynamics needs one
representative concern for each. Which pairing gives both sides an appropriate focus?
A. Social Care Provisions: Contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private sectors in
care delivery | Family Structures and Dynamics: Changing definitions and sociological perspectives
of the family (nuclear, extended, reconstituted, single-parent)
B. Social Care Provisions: Researching and referencing practices (Harvard style and others) | Family
Structures and Dynamics: Changing definitions and sociological perspectives of the family (nuclear,
extended, reconstituted, single-parent)
C. Social Care Provisions: Contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private sectors in
care delivery | Family Structures and Dynamics: Legal responses, human rights frameworks, and
anti-discriminatory legislation
D. Social Care Provisions: Changing definitions and sociological perspectives of the family (nuclear,
extended, reconstituted, single-parent) | Family Structures and Dynamics: Contributions and roles
of the voluntary, independent, and private sectors in care delivery
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Social Care Provisions includes contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private
sectors in care delivery. Family Structures and Dynamics includes changing definitions and sociological
perspectives of the family (nuclear, extended, reconstituted, single-parent). B: The first concern is
drawn from Academic Writing Skills, not Social Care Provisions. C: The second concern is drawn from
Responding to Prejudice and Discrimination, not Family Structures and Dynamics. D: This reverses the
associations: the first concern fits Social Care Provisions, and the second fits Family Structures and
Dynamics.

Question 3
A response addresses Differing ideologies of welfare (e.g., neoliberalism, social democracy,
collectivism) under Historical development and evolution of the British Welfare State from the Poor
Laws to the NHS. It now needs to address Social and cultural patterns of crime and criminality
(e.g., gender, ethnicity, and class disparities). Which additional focus most directly fills that
remaining gap?
A. Historical development and evolution of the British Welfare State from the Poor Laws to the NHS
B. Social Inequality
C. Crime and Society
D. Responding to Prejudice and Discrimination

Society includes social and cultural patterns of crime and criminality (e.g., gender, ethnicity, and class
disparities). A: Historical development and evolution of the British Welfare State from the Poor Laws to
the NHS addresses the first concern, which is already covered. B: Social Inequality concerns
relationship between social differentiation and structural social inequality, rather than being the closest
match for the concern in the question. D: Responding to Prejudice and Discrimination concerns
theoretical explanations for prejudice, stigma, and discrimination, rather than being the closest match
for the concern in the question.

Question 5
Which statement most accurately distinguishes Social Care Provisions from The Role and
Responsibilities of a Social Worker for the concerns under consideration?
A. Social Care Provisions: Application of psychological perspectives to contemporary human issues.
The Role and Responsibilities of a Social Worker: Social work values, ethics, anti-oppressive
practice, and codes of practice (e.g., Social Work England standards).
B. Social Care Provisions: Contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private sectors in
care delivery. The Role and Responsibilities of a Social Worker: Extracting key information and
thematic arguments from academic texts.
C. Social Care Provisions: Social work values, ethics, anti-oppressive practice, and codes of practice
(e.g., Social Work England standards). The Role and Responsibilities of a Social Worker:
Contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private sectors in care delivery.
D. Social Care Provisions: Contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private sectors in
care delivery. The Role and Responsibilities of a Social Worker: Social work values, ethics,
anti-oppressive practice, and codes of practice (e.g., Social Work England standards).
Correct Answer: D

Social Care Provisions includes contributions and roles of the voluntary, independent, and private
sectors in care delivery. The Role and Responsibilities of a Social Worker includes social work values,
ethics, anti-oppressive practice, and codes of practice (e.g., Social Work England standards). A: The
first part substitutes a concern of Behaviorist, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Cognitive, and Biological for
the relevant focus of Social Care Provisions. B: The second part substitutes a concern of Reading and
Note Making for the relevant focus of The Role and Responsibilities of a Social Worker. C: This reverses
the associations: the first concern fits Social Care Provisions, and the second fits The Role and
Responsibilities of a Social Worker.
Question 6
Two cases concern (1) Locating, evaluating, and utilizing reliable academic search engines and
databases and (2) Extracting key information and thematic arguments from academic texts.
Which pair identifies the most directly relevant areas in the same order?
A. Information Literacy and ICT Skills; then Reading and Note Making
B. Reading and Note Making; then Information Literacy and ICT Skills
C. Reading and Note Making; then Reading and Note Making
D. Information Literacy and ICT Skills; then Information Literacy and ICT Skills
Correct Answer: A
Full Explanation:
Information Literacy and ICT Skills includes locating, evaluating, and utilizing reliable academic search
engines and databases. Reading and Note Making includes extracting key information and thematic
arguments from academic texts. B: This reverses the associations: the first concern fits Information
Literacy and ICT Skills, and the second fits Reading and Note Making. C: The first concern fits
Information Literacy and ICT Skills, so assigning both to Reading and Note Making loses the distinction.
D: The second concern fits Reading and Note Making, so assigning both to Information Literacy and ICT
Skills loses the distinction.
