Question 1. Read the prose passage (text 1) and poem
(text 2) supplied below carefully, and answer the
questions that follow. Text 1 - Prose The curlews circled
down, down, down like revolving wheels. Crying and
calling to their young hiding in the grass, which peeped
softly in return. The stream that passed near the nesting
area splashed and swished as it crawled over the small
stones that lined its bed. A breeze lightly touched the
field and the reeds along the stream bowed and bobbed
as if paying their respects. Samantha watched this scene
contemplatively as she sat on the fence at the bottom of
the field slowly swinging her legs. She had come to stay
with her aunt who live in the grim, grey farmhouse which
seemed to squat and frown behind her. At twelve years
old, Samantha was slim with large soulful, sad eyes. Her
hair, lion tawny, made her hazel eyes appear amber.
Strands of her hair drifted on the breeze touching her like
cobwebs. She stared at the stream which blinked and
twinkled like sequin, like those on her mother’s frivolous
evening gown. Samantha had been unceremoniously left
at her aunt’s whilst her parents went away on holiday.
She could still hear the ghastly gaiety of her mother’s
laugh as the two of them drove away. Her aunt had
always made Samantha uneasy. She had beady, bright
eyes like a magpie, was twig thin, with long taloned
hands with which she, scratch, scratch, scratched at
herself. At night Samantha was convinced it was her
aunt’s talons that squealed and scraped down the
bedroom windowpane, a threat which frightened her. It
made sleep difficult. An early riser, Samantha could
escape through the kitchen door and head for the comfort
