Shaken, stirred and confused

Which question does the reviewer focus on in paragraphs 2 and 3.

1. Does James Bond have second thoughts about betraying his Scottish roots.
2. Does James Bond's loyalty lie with his native Scotland or with England?
3. Has James Bond's attachment to England made him renounce his principles?
4. Has James Bond's loyalty to England been affected by his exposure to other cultures?

p. 76 Shaken, stirred and confused

• You can cross out D and C because nothing is said about this in the text. 
• "betrayal" is not mentioned, it is something that you could assume. 
• As such, B is correct. 

Stappenplan

1. Lees de titel, bekijk het plaatje, check de bron en schrijver. Bedenk wat je al weet over dit onderwerp. 

2. Lees de vraag en beslis of de tekst kort genoeg is om helemaal te lezen of dat je slechts een (paar) alinea's moet lezen. 

Stappenplan

3. Bij meerkeuze antwoorden zorg dat je de werkwoorden onderstreept en echt goed begrijpt. Wegstrepen van antwoorden. 

4. Let op linking words in alinea's of in antwoorden. Zorg dat je die onderstreept en bekijkt wat hun betekenis is/ tot welke categorie ze behoren. 

check je antwoorden van het huiswerk!

1. Make it neat.
2. Use signal words and the appropriate tenses, wherever necessary
3. Use paragraphs ( and use blank lines to clearly separate them)
