Hi - where can I get the actual text extract that this is referring to please? Is the text only available if you are a full subscriber? I am a parent not a teacher trying to find resources to help my daughter prep for her IGCSE this year.

Thanks! This is helpful to start gearing the students towards critical reading.

Q4: Focus your answer from "There was dust clogging his throat ..." to "What do you want?" he asked again.
A teacher gave this opinion: "The writer cleverly captures the narrator's sense of surprise at his discovery of a person in the garage."
To what extent do you agree? (Followed by the 3 bullets points typical to this question).
