Sour tasting things contain acids. They are only weak solutions of acid as something
that is strongly acidic will burn human skin. A bee sting contains an acid, our stomach
contains hydrochloric acid and a car battery contains a very strong solution of
sulphuric acid. Acids are very widely used in the chemical industry. Pollution from
power stations causes acid rain, which kills trees and fish.
6. It can be inferred from the passage that the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs is weak.
Answer:
7. The primary purpose of the passage is to describe the properties of things that taste
sour.

Data interpretation
All questions are multiple choice. You are required to select one of the suggested
answers labelled A–D as the correct answer and record its letter of the alphabet in the
answer box.
In 1995, it was estimated that 1 in 50 Britons now in their mid-80s would live to age
100 or older. This figure is a result of improved nutrition and medical treatment which
has improved for 1 in 16 for people in their mid-80s now (in 2010). Official figures
showed this estimate for 2000 to be 1 in 25. There were 9,296 people aged 100 or
over in Britain in 2008; an increase of 1,000 on 2007, according to the Office for
National Statistics (ONS). The findings come just a month after ONS data showed that
there were 1.005 pensioners for every child under 16. In recent years there have been
seven women for every man who have lived to age 100 or older, but this ratio is
declining as male life expectancy is improving at a faster rate than that of women. The
number of centenarians has increased by 5.4% a year since 2008 and this trend is
expected to continue for the next five or more years.
26. How many more Britons in a cohort of 100,000 in their mid-80s in 2010 can be
expected to live to age 100 or older than a cohort of 100,000 Britons in their mid-80s
in 1995?
A. 6,250
B. 5,750
C. 5,000
D. 4,250
27. How many more women than men were aged 100 or older in 2007?
A. 1,037
B. 6,222
C. 7,259
D. 8,296
28. In percentage terms what was the increase in the number of centenarians between
2007 and 2008?
A. Just over 12%
B. Between 10 and 12%
C. Above 5.4% but below 10%
D. 5.4%
29. For every 100,000 children under the age of 16 how many more pensioners are there
in 2010?
A. 100,500
Page 6 of 6

contains hydrochloric acid and a car battery contains a very strong solution of
sulphuric acid. Acids are very widely used in the chemical industry. Pollution from
power stations causes acid rain, which kills trees and fish.
36. It can be inferred from the passage that the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs is weak.
Answer: False
Explanation: the passage states that we must only taste weak solutions of acid but
nothing is said about the acid in our stomachs other than it is hydrochloric acid and so
it is false that we can infer that the acid in our stomach is weak
37. The primary purpose of the passage is to describe the properties of things that taste
sour.
Answer: False
Explanation: the primary purpose of the passage is to describe the properties and uses
of acids. One of these properties is that they taste sour.
38. It can be inferred from the passage that the acid in a car battery would burn if it made
contact with our skin.
Answer: True
Explanation: the passage states both that strongly acidic soluations burn and that a car
battery contains a strong solution of sulphuric acid. It is be inferred from the passage
therefore that the acid in a car battery will burn our skin.
39. A wasp sting contains an acid.

Answer: Cannot tell
Explanation: the passage states that a bee sting contains an acid and makes no
reference to what is contained in a wasp sting so we cannot tell if the statement is
true or false.
40. Lemon juice is an example of a sour tasting thing that is mentioned in the passage.
Answer: False
Explanation: it is true that lemon juice is sour tasting but it is not true that this is
mentioned in the passage; in fact, no examples of sour tasting things are mentioned
