Questions 1-10 Complete the table below. Write one word and / or a number

20/21 B/E (in any order)
B = tailored to individual players; minutely 
customised
E = tactics; identify how a rival team is likely to play 
a match
A: ‘minutely’ provides distraction but means ‘in 
detail’ in this context
C: there is a reference to ‘confidence’ but this 
doesn’t relate to mental toughness in this context
D: AI is too expensive for all but elite teams
22 injuries Distraction comes from the fact that the 
question and passage have different structures. 
‘fewer’ in the item contrasts with ‘increases’ in the 
text; ‘defensively’ in the item contrasts with ‘a style 
that prioritises offence’ in the text. 
23 sneakers The idea of ‘wearable technology’ is 
distracting, but the company didn’t ‘design’ this, 
and it’s too many words. 
24 safety improve = enhance; go faster = driver 
performance
Distraction comes from the fact that the order 
is reversed in the question: safety comes before 
performance. 
25 hackers disrupt AI = AI is vulnerable; make 
competitions unfair = influence the outcome of a 
tournament
26 journalism powered by AI = AI-enhanced; greater 
publicity = promoting the sport
The idea of ‘up-to-the-minute developments’ is 
distracting but impossible to limit to one word.
