2 (a) (i) Identify a word or phrase from the text which suggests the same idea as the words underlined.

After a quick briefing, we boarded our mokoro. Expertly crafted from the trunk of an ebony tree, a mokoro is a dugout canoe, propelled by a ‘poler’ standing upright in the rear, pushing a long wooden pole off the riverbed.

Susan attended a short meeting to receive information before getting into the boat.

2 (a) (iii) Identify a word or phrase from the text which suggests the same idea as the words underlined:

Next week, more polers would sit exams to get licences to be guides. They’d need to demonstrate they had the skills to cater for the broader range of tourists seeking more authentic and affordable ways to explore the area that they hoped to attract.

To pass their licensing examinations, polers would need to show that they were able to meet the needs of a wider variety of visitors.

2(a)(iv) Identify a word or phrase from the text which suggests the same idea as the words underlined.

Classes were well attended. Comparing ‘facts’ in the books with stories of animal behaviour from experienced polers was interesting. Apparently, hippos go under water for about four minutes. However, this was vehemently denied by one very young poler, who’d insisted that when he hunted hippos they stayed underwater for hours.

One poler passionately and forcefully argued against the suggestion in the book.

2(b)(i) Using your own words, explain what the writer means by each of the words underlined:

Our poler explained that all fifty members of the OPT were local men. Many owned their own boat and had learnt their poling skills as children, catching fish and travelling between villages by water. To preserve the delicate ecological balance of the delta, fishing was now tightly controlled, but as poling was more lucrative, few were complaining. When more polers could afford to convert to fibreglass canoes, fewer mature trees would need to be cut down.
