Questions –13 The correct answer is false

37 The correct answer is A: 
The text refers to ‘The new findings, published in the journal 
Science
’. If researchers publish their findings in a journal, this where their research is reported.
38 The correct answer is ‘warm (winter)’: 
In Section G, the text says that ‘species, such as 
daffodils, have considerable temperature sensitivity, and can flower months in advance during a 
warm winter’.
39 The correct answer is ‘summer’: 
In Section G, the text says, ‘A warmer spring, and 
consequently a higher likeliness of a hot summer, will result in oak leafing before ash. A cold 
spring will see the opposite. As the British know only too well, a colder summer is likely to be a 
rain-soaked one.’ The phrase ‘a cold spring will see the opposite’ means that a cold spring will 
result in ash trees coming into leaf before oak trees, and that there will also be a higher chance 
of a cold and ‘rain-soaked’ (wet) summer.
40 The correct answer is ‘mustard plant(s)’ or ‘mustard’: 
In Section H, the text says, ‘The 
work was done in a model system, using a mustard plant called 
Arabidopsis
.’
