Answers
1. A
2. A
3. D
4. A
5. C

Explanations

1. Answer: A
The answer option that best fits this question is A. This is because the cross in Text A is
capped by the helmet of a U.S. soldier while the cross itself sits atop a trapezium shape.
Although the image is quite simple and lacks detail, these few features is enough for us
to come to the conclusion that this is indeed a grave and so answer A is the correct
answer.

2. Answer: A
The answer option that best fits this question is A. This is because the letters in red are
W, A and R. Together these letters spell out WAR and if we look at the splatter of the red
and the trails that run from the letters down the page it looks very much like blood. A
further clue that the red writing is blood is the fact that the letters spell out WAR and
war is typically associated with death and violence and so blood is very fitting.

3. Answer: D
The answer that fits best for this question is answer option D. This is because Text A
shows a grave of a fallen soldier and asks the audience “Your son next?” while Text B
asks “War. What is it good for?”. Both of these questions suggest the destructive nature
of war and so we can conclude that both texts see war as bad. Therefore, D is the best
answer.

4. Answer: A
The answer that fits best for this question is answer option A. This is because Text A
shows a grave of a fallen soldier and asks the audience “Your son next?” while Text B
asks “War. What is it good for?”. Both of these are rhetorical questions meaning that
they are questions that the audience isn’t expected to answer. Therefore, A is the best
answer.

5. Answer: C
The answer option that best fits for this question is C. This is because the text says “Your
son next?” while the image is of a grave. Taking both of these two features into
consideration we can infer that the text in Text A is asking if the audience’s son will be
the next to be in a grave. Therefore, A is the best answer.
