i got 156.

 

[JBAN]

i got 156.

Listen up, I exceeded the word limit in the summary but my writing did not seemed as if it was more than 160 words, it was fitted easily in the answer space and majority of my school mates did the same i.e exceeding the word limit and writing the wrong word count, I don't think examiners check the words used as long as they are satisfied and not suspicious, each year kids do this and yet manage to get an A or an A*, furthermore if word limit was much of a problem than it should be more of a concern for P1 in which people wrote a composition of around 1000 words and speech of 500 words, please help and pray that examiner do not count the words at least of my paper, please pray and help me too.

[Vogue]

i wrote overwhelmed for preoccupied is it correct or not??

i do not think that its right. cz preoccupied means engaged or engrossed in something. but u can check in an online thesauraus for the synonyms of preoccupied.

 

[HarisLatif]

why were the nurses nervous?

because they didn't want the writer to get in and the writer was yelling to go in.. i wrote that.

 

[Vogue]

because they didn't want the writer to get in and the writer was yelling to go in.. i wrote that.

overwehlmed means totally taken aback by emotions. and the author was preoccupied by some thoughts i guess, no?

and I wrote the surgeon was angry because the senior nurse forced the writer to leave the place/didn't allow her to see her baby

 

[HarisLatif]

and I wrote the surgeon was angry because the senior nurse forced the writer to leave the place/didn't allow her to see her baby

i wrote that surgeon was angry because the writer was disturbing everybody in the hospital by yelling. i think it was the right one

 

[Jaguar]

i wrote that surgeon was angry because the writer was disturbing everybody in the hospital by yelling. i think it was the right one

haha. because what I understood was that when the writer opened her eyes she saw the senior nurse crying but the surgeon was kind to the writer by allowing her to see her baby. Perhaps, the surgeon was angry at the nurse actually

 

[Buzzy]

^Guess i got this one wrong

 

[Fallen316]

i wrote that surgeon was angry because the writer was disturbing everybody in the hospital by yelling. i think it was the right one
