Paper 2 · November 2004 · Comprehension
Form Paragraph 1
How does the picture affect the author?
AIt reminds him of how smart the school uniform once was
BIt fills him with pride in the boys the three of them were
CIt makes him angry with the friend who is now dying
DIt moves him to tears as nothing has ever done before
Explanation
Paragraph 1 says the picture 'makes me cry in a way I have never wanted to cry about anything before', so its effect is grief beyond anything he has felt. The uniform is described in paragraph 2 and is part of what the picture shows, not what it does to him.
