A2 Key for Schools (KET) Reading & Writing Part 3 Test – Smart Kitchens 2

14 C - Explanation: In the first paragraph, Sara says "He pays me to take his long videos and make them short and exciting on my computer." A is a partial truth because she works for a YouTuber who plays games, but she doesn't play with him. B is wrong logic because she gets paid by him; she doesn't pay him.

15 A - Explanation: In the second paragraph, the text states "My video software stopped working and closed completely." B is wrong logic because her screen "went black," but it didn't physically break. C is a partial truth because she spent an hour adding music to her video, not trying to find it.

16 B - Explanation: In the third paragraph, Sara says she was stressed because she "needed to finish the work and send it back to him before the evening." A is wrong logic because the YouTuber wasn't angry yet; she was just worried he might be. C is wrong logic because she didn't lose her job, but she was worried that she might if she didn't finish.

17 B - Explanation: In the final paragraph, Sara explains she "found a special button in the software that saves my work automatically" (a tool to keep her work safe) and she worked fast to do everything again. A is wrong logic because it took her another hour, but she didn't ask him for more time. C is wrong logic because she sent the video "on time," not early.

18 A - Explanation: This is a specific detail question based on the final paragraph (future plans). Sara says "From now on, I am going to make sure that button is always on before I start working," which means checking her settings. B is a partial truth because she found the automatic save button in her current software, so she doesn't need to buy a new one. C is wrong logic because the YouTuber loved her work, and she plans to keep doing it.

14 B - Explanation: In the first paragraph, the text states Tom needed to "know exactly how many hours he worked" and downloaded the app to "track his time", which matches needing a way to record the time he spent working (B). A is a wrong logic trap; he already found a job doing the gardening before he downloaded the app. C is wrong logic; he downloaded a stopwatch app to track time, not to learn how to garden.

15 A - Explanation: The second paragraph explains that the app kept a list of his hours and "Tom felt very organized and was pleased," which matches being happy that his work details were kept in good order (A). B uses wrong logic; the text says the app was "very easy to use," not difficult. C is a partial truth trap; he tapped buttons on the screen, but they didn't make him tired.

16 B - Explanation: The third paragraph says Tom "tapped the wrong button and accidentally deleted everything," meaning he lost his information by mistake (B). A is a wrong reference trap; Tom deleted the information himself, his neighbour didn't delete the app. C is wrong logic; he had his phone with him to show her the screen, he didn't forget it at home.

17 C - Explanation: In the fourth paragraph, the text states that Tom has a fantastic memory and "remembered exactly how many hours he worked," which matches option C. A uses wrong logic; the numbers were deleted, and his neighbour didn't find them. B is a partial truth trap; he worked on those three days, but he didn't work extra hours to get his money.

18 B - Explanation: In the final paragraph, the text says that "every evening, he also writes his hours in a small paper notebook," matching option B. A uses wrong logic; the text explicitly states he "still likes using the digital app." C is a wrong reference trap; he uses a paper notebook, but there is no mention of asking his neighbour to buy one for him.

14 B - Explanation: The text says Uma didn't have a book, so she "found a useful cooking video on the internet" to help her bake a special cake. This matches using the tablet to help her learn how to bake something. Option A is a wrong logic trap; she used the tablet because she didn't have a book. Option C is a partial truth trap; she watched a video and it was for her mother's birthday, but she didn't show the video to her mother.

15 A - Explanation: The text states that "At first, baking the cake was really easy and Uma was having a lot of fun." This matches feeling happy because it wasn't difficult. Option B is a wrong logic trap; she watched the man carefully, but the text doesn't say she was surprised by him. Option C is a wrong logic trap; she got things from the cupboards, but she wasn't tired.

16 C - Explanation: Uma's mistake was that she "poured far too much milk into her big mixing bowl." This matches putting too much of it into her bowl. Option A is the opposite of the truth; she put too much in, she didn't forget it. Option B is a wrong logic trap; she didn't touch her tablet screen in time to pause the video, but she didn't pour milk on the screen.

17 B - Explanation: To fix the wet mixture, Uma "decided to add a little more flour to the bowl." This matches putting a bit more flour into it. Option A is a partial truth trap; she thought about the bin, but she "didn't want to throw the food in the bin." Option C is a wrong logic trap; she stopped the video to think, but she didn't fix the cake by watching it again.

18 C - Explanation: In the final paragraph, the text says that next week she plans to bake chocolate biscuits and "she is going to write the instructions on a piece of paper first!" This matches writing down how to make some biscuits. Option A is a wrong timing trap; she already made a cake for her mother's birthday last weekend. Option C is a wrong logic trap; she is making chocolate biscuits, not buying chocolate from the internet.
