Hi, for Q1, the given answer is correct. It specifies the location which is mentioned in the stem. DL's answer is good if the stem is "She did not know that a stranger was lurking nearby."
Q2, the given answer is correct. The tense used in Present. Devesh has changed the tense to the Past. His response is good if stem is "The police took the stolen loot as evidence of the crime."
For those who are reading this, the answer key for "No Harm" maths paper will only be sent tomorrow. (Mdm Toh sent us paper 2 again instead).
ReplyDeleteFor those who read the same comment in the later post... sorry, just a bit kiasu.
Apologies to all! I should have checked carefully when sending the mail. Thank you Devesh. In such instances, being kiasu is greatly welcome :)
