Examiners report
This was criticized on some G2 forms for unclear wording but three quarters of candidates answered it correctly and it discriminated well between the stronger and weaker candidates. Well-prepared candidates were able to answer it without needing to look at the second column of the table, although the advice is still to always look at all the information provided in a question before choosing an answer.
