Muet reading july 2016

Ok MUET July paper is over.. and so many have written in for the reading answers. I was away

personal answers, as MPM will not be releasing the actual answers for some time.

living)

Number of Heart Attack Cases and Activities of Men and Women (2011-2015)
Figure 1 illustrates the number of heart attacks among men and women while
Figure 2 lists their activities (2011-2015).Generally, there is a positive correlation
between the number of heart attacks cases and the number of activities of both
sexes.
In 2011, more men (320) had heart attacks than women (150) although women
performed more (3) activities (Complete office work, Attend meetings, Attend
to children) compared to men (2)(Complete office work, Meet clients). When
men did an extra activity (Attend meetings), totaling 3 in 2012, the attacks
increased to 380. Conversely, women who did less (2), dropping Attend meetings,
suffered 50 lesser attacks (100)( in 2012).
Despite (performing) the same 3 activities in 2013, the number of heart attacks
suffered by men rose to 450. This figure further shot up to its highest (600) in
2014 when the number of activities increased to 4, when men included an extra
Manage staff problems. The number of attacks women suffered (100) and the 2
activities in 2013 and 2014 respectively, remained unchanged as in 2012.
The number of attacks declined for both sexes to 500 (men) and 80 (women) in
2015 as they did one less activity each men (3) and women (Attend to children)
only.
In conclusion, the number of heart attacks and activities are correlated.

Reading Mac 2016 answer (reading)
Long awaited, I'm sure. First there was the school holidays and then I only just today got a
hardcopy of the exam as my students are not taking this March exam. Anyway, I have cross
checked with a fellow friend and we only have minor differences. Below are my answers, NOT
MPM's. I'm curious to find out how come the tabulation of the first 7 questions has no 'A' and 2
'B's and soooo many 'C's (5!)... I wonder if anyone can enlighten me on this? Feel free to contact
me.
Here is a link to the scanned Reading paper. Try it before checking answers! (Reading Mac
