Questions 32–35
32 A: The writer says that ‘whenever I leave my room 
in search of an outlet providing fruit or anything 
with nutritional value [= healthy food], none can 
be found [= cannot easily be obtained]. It seems 
ridiculous [= shows the writer is frustrated] that this 
should be the case.’
Distraction
B The writer mentions travelling to the 
research centre, but is not frustrated by this as 
someone else collects him from the airport and 
drives him there. He tells us that he does not need 
to deal with the freeways and daily congestion [ 
= daily traffic problems]; C the writer talks about 
walking around the blocks nearest to his hotel – he 
doesn’t complain about not being able to walk 
any further; D the writer mentions places such as 
museums and arts centres, but seems positive 
about this development, rather than frustrated.
33 C: The writer explains that ‘we do know they [= 
security features] make residents feel reluctant 
[= they are discouraged] to go outside and walk 
around their neighbourhood. Instead they are more 
likely to remain inactive [= they don’t exercise] 
indoors.’
Distraction 
A The writer explains that developers 
add security features to housing developments 
because they believe it make residents feel 
safer. However, the writer points out that there 
is no evidence that it does; B When the writer is 
talking about residents walking around ‘their 
neighbourhood’, he is referring to the area and 
local community beyond the fence. This is not a 
neighbourhood or community that the residents of 
the new housing developments are part of; D the 
feeling of being ‘cut off’ refers only to a sense of 
isolation from the community, not a sense of fear.
34 D: The writer explains that the local people who 
attend a consultation event with planners and 
developers are ‘the same few voices with the same 
few wishes [= they rely on the opinions of a narrow 
range of people]’.
Distraction
A The writer only explains that planners 
and developers are not yet generally using the 
internet and social media to gather ideas – there 
is no suggestion that they distrust this form of 
communication; B the writer explains that planners 
and developers are traditional [= conventional] in 
their approach to gathering information, but does 
not explain what kind of buildings they create; C the 
writer only suggests that planners and developers 
can save money by not spending it on things not 
desired by residents. This may improve their profits, 
but the writer doesn’t accuse them of deliberately 
ignoring the needs of residents. 
35 B: The writer tells us that ‘The containers have been 
turned into sunny work studios, and despite their

limited size [= small spaces], some come with a bed, 
shower and kitchen unit. Smart planning and skilful 
construction [= clever design] mean they take up 
very little room’ [= don’t need much space].’
Distraction
A We are told that ‘Furniture and fittings 
are made from recycled products’, but there is no 
information about what materials these products 
are made from; C We are told that students live 
in container dormitories in Amsterdam and 
Copenhagen, but the writer doesn’t tell us why the 
students have chosen to live in them. We are told 
that young entrepreneurs can save money by living 
in them, but the motivations of the students and 
entrepreneurs are not compared; D The locations 
of Docklands, Copenhagen and Amsterdam are 
mentioned, but the writer does not say whether 
these places – or other locations – are good places 
or not for development.
