59 When you have to do a multiple matching reading task, remember that the questions are likely to use paraphrase, and some may test implied meaning rather than literal meaning. You may also need to work out the meaning of words you don’t know from the context. Circle the correct synonym/paraphrase in the following responses. 1 A: I’m not sure how to pronounce ‘indicative’. Do you know? B: Yes. When you spell / say it, put the stress on the second syllable. 2 A: What’s the initial letter of ‘phonology’? Is it ‘f’ or ‘p’? B: The first / last letter’s ‘p’, actually. 3 A: Did you know that in the UK, northerners have a reputation for being very friendly? B: That’s right. That’s what everyone thinks about them / what everyone loves about them. 4 A: It seems to me that only the younger demographic use certain slang phrases like ‘OMG’. B: I agree. I don’t think you’d find many people in the over-40 age minority / group using that phrase. 5 A: Many of the countries in the former British Empire have become independent. B: That’s right. They now have their own governments / get help with running their country. Read the sentences below and decide if the word/s in bold are right or wrong.
