Paper 2 · June 1996 · Comprehension
From Paragraph 1
Write down one word which shows that all the men had agreed to move on.
Adecision
Bhastened
Cdeparture
Dincident
Explanation
Paragraph 1 opens 'The decision was made to move on', and a decision is a matter already settled between them, so the word shows the men had come to an agreement. 'Hastened' is the near miss: it tells you how quickly they left, not that they had agreed to leave.
