    Belonging: Related Text Suggestions

    Thanks for the advice - I was starting to stress that Carrie was a horrible choice that wasn't going to work well. My teacher is asking for us to compile and submit our analysis so she can get an idea of how we will be using our related texts and I was having some trouble with drawing out...

    Science MC- Astronomy question

    It said the observatory was controlled by satellite, so I assumed that it had something to do with electromagnetic radiation. The Ozone hole answer seemed a bit dodgy, but I put it down anyway because it just seemed to fit best.

    Treaties related to foreign aid?

    It wasn't too hard, some questions required more thought, but I got through those alright. I always find some of the MC answers they give in these tests hilarious.

    I wrote about how the initial description of the bushranger juxtaposed with his sombre mood - or something to that effect. I think I went well with that question. At least I hope I did :p
