Choose the word for each blank.

You have about 30 minutes to answer each question. You must take account of how many marks are 1 for each part when you answer it. Even if you think you can write more, don't spend 15 minutes 2 a part worth only 5 marks. Leave space at the end of your answer and come back to it if you have 3 to spare later.

And if you can't think of an answer to some part, leave a space and move on to the next part. Don't write about something else if you don't know the correct answer -- this is just a waste of your 4 time (and the examiner's).
