for appointed selected is okay i guess, but decided or given might have been better. you will get the mark for this.

for hardened, you have written to increase strength it might be right if we see the word itself, but in context it doesn't seem right as the sentence was about the nurses' voice getting hardened (or something like that) so i am afraid you might lose your mark on this one.

 

[syed1995]

can we right bad fr tedious

No sorry, read previous marking schemes bad has always been in the Award 0 column. and it doesn't fit the context either.

any reason since I was afraid that it might AWARD me 0/2. Thus I confirmed 1 mark at least)
5 (a) the nurses thought the writer might ask to see the baby.
(b) they had every thing which was precious for the writer but the writer had nothing except her intention which was to see the baby. (Every1 is saying I have thought more than I SHOULD have thought on this qs.) I think I will get 0/2. Am I right?

hoping 5 (c) there are two possible answers. because exerting a great pressure on the writer's pressure is also one of the ways how the senior showed she was annoyed.
