How to approach this passage
Separate what the programme fee includes from extra travel costs. Check membership and age conditions literally. This is a historical reading exercise: its prices, eligibility and visa references are not current travel advice.
Worked answer review
Question 15 is FALSE because onward travel in the USA is excluded. Question 20 is NOT GIVEN: a minimum age is specified, but an upper age limit is not stated. An absent maximum is not proof that the passage explicitly rules one out.
Review your reasoning
- Locate the part of the supplied passage that supports your answer. Keep claims made in the text separate from your own knowledge.
- Check whether the task requires a letter, a short answer or a True/False/Not Given judgement. Follow the instruction for this question group.
- After checking the key, identify whether an error came from locating information, interpreting a statement or entering an answer in the wrong form.
