Take notes/write down your ideas on this while answering the questions, as you need to remember this later on for the test.

Sephy: "This wasn't real. None of it was real. It couldn't be. It was forbidden. It was against the law. Against nature. So I was dreaming again. Lost in my own world where there were no noughts and Crosses" (376). What is against the law/nature according to their society?

1. Being kidnapped by noughts
2. Escaping from the noughts
3. The Liberation Militia
4. Kissing Callum

Who says: "And then I remembered what had been bothering me about the stranger since I'd first seen him." (383).

3. Jude
4. Morgan

What does Sephy say about the 'stranger' (Andrew Dorn, second-in-command of the L.M.) to Callum?

Jude reveals to Callum why their mother wanted Jude to get out of the L.M. all those years ago. She told him in the hospital. What did she tell him?

1. That their great-grandfather was a Cross.
2. That the L.M. is run by a Cross.
3. That violence is never the answer.

"I've heard you calling on the porcelain telephone" (395). Minerva says this to Sephy. This is a metaphor for...?

"When you work with people for so long, your life in their hands and their lives in yours, they almost become family" (397). This is what Callum realizes while he works as a mechanic and misses his former L.M. cell. What kind of institution does this remind you of?
