Q6: Morpeth developed into a town because
| Option A However, in 1870 a railway line reached the town, and the importance of river shipping began to decline. Option B The town of Morpeth grew from an original 2000 acres of land given to an English army officer, Lieutenant Edward Close (1790-1866), in 1821. Option C During the 1830s and 1840s, Morpeth became a major river port due to its favourable location. |
Note: Option A It is implied from the passages that Morpeth developed into a town during the 1830s and 1840s. In contrast, the railroad line officially reached the town in 1870. Therefore, we can conclude that Morpeth was serviced by a railroad line after it became a town. As a result, the fact that it was serviced by a railroad line is not a reason for the development of Morpeth town. For that reason, option A is incorrect. Option B From the paragraph, we understand that Morpeth originated from the land of Lieutenant Close. Nevertheless, whether Lieutenant Close planned to transform Morpeth into a town is never stated. For that reason, option B is irrelevant. Option C It is clarified in the paragraphs that Morpeth became a river port, thanks to its favourable location. Thus, we can imply that Morpeth was situated on a waterway. For that reason, option C is correct. |

For that reason, option C is incorrect. Option B We understand that Morpeth imported goods from inland New South Wales.

Q8: Morpeth is popular with visitors today because of
| Option A However, in 1870 a railway line reached the town, and the importance of river shipping began to decline. Option C Today, Morpeth, with its beautiful old buildings, is a popular tourist destination. This covers about three kilometres, and takes visitors past many beautiful historic buildings. Starting at Fig Tree Hill, which has picnic facilities, stroll past the Surgeon’s Cottage, built in 1845, formerly home of the local doctor, now shops. Opposite it on the right is the Courthouse, still in use today. Stroll past gracious houses until you come to the Church of the Immaculate Conception on your right, built of bricks made in Gosford. Your tour of Morpeth finishes at magnificent Closebourne House, built in 1826 by Lieutenant Edward Close. |
Note: Option A As a matter of fact, the railway line affected the importance of river shipping. However, whether Morpeth is famous for its 1870 railway line is never mentioned throughout the paragraphs. For that reason, option A is incorrect. Option B Throughout the paragraphs, we do not see any historic shop mentioned as favourite destinations of visitors. For that reason, option B is incorrect. Option C The writer confirms it twice that Morpeth is famous for its beautiful historic buildings. Furthermore, the writer even recommends a list of historic buildings that visitors should come and see, including: the Surgeon’s Cottage, the Courthouse, the Church of the Immaculate Conception and the Closebourne House. For that reason, option C is correct. |
