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.
+ We can assume that the answer could be a number or a noun phrase used to indicate a period of time or a specific time.

Q2: On what river is Morpeth situated?
During the 1830s and 1840s Morpeth became a major river port, due to its favourable location. Produce, hides and timber were brought to Morpeth from inland New South Wales and shipped down the Hunter river to the coast and then to Sydney.
+ The answer is the name of a river on which Morpeth is situated.
+ These two sentences contains all keywords. Note that “location” is a noun form of “locate”, which is a synonym for “situate”. Besides, it is clear that “produce, hides and timber were brought to Morpeth” and “shipped down the Hunter river to the coast”. Therefore, the answer is (The) Hunter river.

+ This sentence contains words or phrases with meanings similar to those of keywords. Note that “a railway line” is tracks on which trains run. This means when “a railway line reached the town” in 1870, trains could also get to Morpeth at that time. Therefore, the answer is 1870.

Morpeth is today a small town about two hours’ drive north of Sydney.

During the 1830s and 1840s Morpeth became a major river port, due to its favourable location. Produce, hides and timber were brought to Morpeth from inland New South Wales and shipped down the Hunter river to the coast and then to Sydney. However, in 1870 a railway line reached the town, and the importance of river shipping began to decline. Today, Morpeth, with its beautiful old buildings, is a popular tourist destination. |
