Worksheet Answer Key - Cambridge University Press - Free Printable

Looking at the image, I can see this is a worksheet for a book called “Forget to Remember” by Alan Maley. The section titled “Check your reading” has two parts:

1. A multiple-choice question about Chapter 1 (question 1)
2. A true/false exercise about Chapter 2 (question 2)

Let me solve each part step by step.

---

Part 1: Question 1 — “At the end of Chapter 1, she has...”

We need to pick the correct option based on what happens in Chapter 1.

From the summary:
- Cindy is 54 years old.
- Her mother Sarah has Alzheimer’s and is confused.
- Cindy’s husband Bob has left her.
- She calls her sister Kate, who lives in Brighton.
- Kate visits Jan (her husband), and they agree to let Cindy stay with them for a short break.
- Sarah embarrasses Hugh (Kate’s husband) at a dinner party.
- Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back home.
- Cindy feels angry and bitter.
- In desperation, Cindy decides to turn to her daughter Cindy (wait — that seems like a typo? Let me re-read).

Actually, looking again: “Cindy decides to turn to her daughter Cindy” — that must be an error in the text. Probably it should say “her daughter Sarah”? But no, Sarah is her mother. Wait — let’s read carefully:

> “In desperation, Cindy decides to turn to her daughter Cindy to ask if she’d be prepared to look after Sarah.”

That doesn’t make sense — Cindy can’t turn to herself. This is likely a printing error. Looking at context, probably it means “her daughter” — but Cindy’s daughter isn’t named yet. Actually, later it says: “She finds it difficult, but soon grows to understand her grandmother’s ‘crazy’ ways...” — so Cindy is staying with her grandmother? No, wait — Cindy is the daughter of Sarah. So Sarah is the grandmother.

This is confusing. Let me re-read the summary carefully:

“Cindy is 54... her mother Sarah has Alzheimer’s... Cindy decides to phone her younger sister Kate... Kate visits Jan [her husband], agrees to have Cindy stay... Sarah embarrasses Hugh... Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back... Cindy feels angry... In desperation, Cindy decides to turn to her daughter Cindy...”

Ah — here’s the key: “Cindy decides to turn to her daughter Cindy” — this must be a mistake. It probably means “her daughter” — but Cindy’s daughter isn’t named. Later it says: “On her 80th birthday, Cindy takes Sarah to Brighton...” — so Cindy is taking her mother Sarah to Brighton.

Wait — perhaps “her daughter Cindy” is a typo and should be “her sister Kate”? But Kate already offered a break.

Actually, reading further: “She finds it difficult, but soon grows to understand her grandmother’s ‘crazy’ ways and to love the time they spend together.” — so Cindy is spending time with her grandmother? That would mean Cindy is the granddaughter? But earlier it says Cindy is 54 and her mother is Sarah.

I think there’s confusion in names. Let me clarify from the summary:

- Sarah is the mother with Alzheimer’s.
- Cindy is Sarah’s daughter (54 years old).
- Kate is Cindy’s younger sister.
- Jan is Kate’s husband.
- Hugh is Kate’s husband? Wait, no — “Kate visits Jan, and after discussing the matter with her husband, agrees...” — so Jan is Kate’s husband? But then it says “Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back” — so Hugh must be Kate’s husband? Contradiction.

Actually, rereading: “Kate visits Jan, and after discussing the matter with her husband, agrees to have Cindy stay for a short while to give her a break.” — so Jan is probably not the husband; maybe Jan is someone else? Or perhaps “Jan” is a typo for “Hugh”? Because later it says “Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back”.

This is messy. But let’s look at the options for question 1:

a) She has been looking after her mother all the time.
b) She has a lot of parties and trips.
c) She cannot remember anything.
d) She is not with her husband; she says he was a ‘stupid idiot’.

From the summary: “Cindy has been spending a lot of time with her mother, Sarah, who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and is becoming increasingly forgetful and confused.” — so she has been looking after her mother.

Also: “Her husband Bob has left her.” — so she is not with her husband.

And: “Cindy feels angry and bitter, especially as she has not been able to get her own way.” — but does she call him a “stupid idiot”? Not explicitly stated.

Option d says: “She is not with her husband; she says he was a ‘stupid idiot’.” — the summary doesn’t say she called him that. It just says he left her.

Option a: “She has been looking after her mother all the time.” — yes, the summary says she has been spending a lot of time with her mother.

But let’s see what happens at the end of Chapter 1. From the summary: after Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back, Cindy feels angry, then turns to her daughter (probably a typo, but let’s assume it means she seeks another solution), and then “On her 80th birthday, Cindy takes Sarah to Brighton to spend the day with her sister Kate and her husband Jan.” — so at the end of Chapter 1, she is taking her mother to Brighton.

But the question is: “At the end of Chapter 1, she has...” — meaning Cindy.

Looking at the options, none directly match the Brighton trip. But option a might be true throughout, but is it true at the end of Chapter 1?

Perhaps we need to infer from the story flow.

Another approach: the “Check your reading” section is meant to be answered based on the text provided, which includes the summary and the “Before reading” section.

But the summary covers the whole book, not just Chapter 1.

Perhaps for question 1, we need to use the summary to infer what happens at the end of Chapter 1.

From the summary: after Hugh refuses to take Cindy back, Cindy is desperate, then she turns to her daughter (which is confusing), but then it says she finds it difficult but grows to understand her grandmother — wait, that must be a mistake. If Cindy is 54, her grandmother would be Sarah’s mother, but Sarah is the one with Alzheimer’s.

I think there’s a name mix-up in the summary. Let me try to reconstruct:

- Sarah: mother, has Alzheimer’s, 80 years old (since on her 80th birthday they go to Brighton)
- Cindy: daughter of Sarah, 54 years old
- Kate: younger sister of Cindy
- Jan: husband of Kate? Or is Jan the husband of someone else?

The summary says: “Kate visits Jan, and after discussing the matter with her husband, agrees to have Cindy stay” — so Jan is likely Kate’s husband.

Then: “Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back” — who is Hugh? Perhaps Hugh is Kate’s husband, and Jan is a typo? Or vice versa.

This is problematic. But for the purpose of answering, let’s look at the options.

Option d: “She is not with her husband; she says he was a ‘stupid idiot’.” — the summary says “her husband Bob has left her”, but doesn’t say she called him a stupid idiot. So probably not d.

Option c: “She cannot remember anything.” — that’s Sarah, not Cindy.

Option b: “She has a lot of parties and trips.” — not mentioned.

Option a: “She has been looking after her mother all the time.” — this is true from the beginning, and likely continues.

But at the end of Chapter 1, she is taking her mother to Brighton, so she is still looking after her.

Moreover, in the “Before reading” section, it says: “Jan has problems looking after their mother; she’s poor and has a difficult daughter: Kate is a rich and successful professional woman.” — this suggests that Jan and Kate are looking after their mother, but Kate is rich, so perhaps Kate is the one helping.

I think I need to make a decision.

Perhaps the correct answer is a, because Cindy has been the primary caregiver.

But let’s see the second part.

Part 2: Question 2 — “Meet for lunch the following Sunday.” True or False?

This is for Chapter 2.

From the summary: “One day, Kate visits Jan to discuss her husband’s proposal for solving the problem of Sarah’s care needs. He has suggested that they give £1,500 a month to pay for Sarah’s care on the understanding that she and Hugh will, in return, get Sarah’s house when she dies.”

Then: “Cindy is shocked by Kate’s readiness to put money and the idea of profit before concern for her mother’s comfort and security and throws her out of the house.”

Then: “Next day, Sarah dies peacefully in her sleep. The funeral is a small affair, and Kate and Jan are very distant with each other. She does not speak either when they go to the solicitor’s for the reading of the will.”

Then: “Kate learns that she will get her mother’s house and Jan £50,000.”

So, after the funeral, they go to the solicitor’s, and Kate gets the house, Jan gets £50,000.

The question is: “Meet for lunch the following Sunday.” — is this true or false?

From the text, after the funeral, they are distant, and there’s no mention of meeting for lunch. In fact, it says “she does not speak either when they go to the solicitor’s” — referring to Kate not speaking to Jan or Cindy? The sentence is: “She does not speak either when they go to the solicitor’s for the reading of the will.” — “she” probably refers to Cindy, since Kate and Jan are the ones involved in the will.

Let’s read: “Next day, Sarah dies peacefully in her sleep. The funeral is a small affair, and Kate and Jan are very distant with each other. She does not speak either when they go to the solicitor’s for the reading of the will.”

“ She does not speak either” — “she” likely refers to Cindy, as Kate and Jan are mentioned as distant, but Cindy is the one who threw Kate out.

So, after the funeral, they go to the solicitor’s, and Cindy doesn’t speak to Kate or Jan.

There is no mention of meeting for lunch the following Sunday. In fact, the story seems to end with the will reading, and no future plans are mentioned.

Therefore, it is false that they meet for lunch the following Sunday.

So for question 2, the answer should be F (False).

Now back to question 1.

Perhaps I can look for clues in the “Before reading” section.

“Before reading” has:

1. It shows Brighton Pier. A pier is an iron structure from the nineteenth century, used for entertainment and breathing the sea air. Brighton is a famous seaside town on the south coast of England. The weather is sunny and bright.

2. Student’s own answer.

3. Jan and Kate are sisters. Their mother is ill. Jan looks after her, but can’t cope any more.

4. Jan has problems looking after their mother; she’s poor and has a difficult daughter: Kate is a rich and successful professional woman.

5. The author’s mother had a problem with her memory. But she says that memory is essential to being a person.

So, from this, Jan and Kate are sisters, their mother is ill, Jan looks after her but can’t cope, Kate is rich.

In the summary, Cindy is the daughter of Sarah, and Kate is Cindy’s sister, so Jan must be Kate’s husband or something.

The summary says: “Kate visits Jan, and after discussing the matter with her husband, agrees to have Cindy stay” — so Jan is probably not the husband; perhaps “Jan” is a typo for “Hugh”, and “her husband” is Hugh.

Then: “Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back” — so Hugh is Kate’s husband.

Then: “Cindy decides to turn to her daughter Cindy” — this must be a typo. Probably it should be “her sister Kate” or “her daughter” but Cindy’s daughter isn’t named.

Later: “On her 80th birthday, Cindy takes Sarah to Brighton to spend the day with her sister Kate and her husband Jan.” — so Jan is Kate’s husband.

So, to clarify:

- Sarah: mother, 80, has Alzheimer’s
- Cindy: daughter, 54
- Kate: younger sister of Cindy
- Jan: husband of Kate
- Hugh: ? Perhaps Hugh is not mentioned, or it's a mistake.

In the summary: “Hugh says he won’t have Cindy back” — but if Jan is Kate’s husband, then Hugh might be a different person.

This is very confusing. Perhaps in the actual book, it's clear, but in this worksheet, we have to go with what's written.

For question 1, let's assume that at the end of Chapter 1, Cindy is taking her mother to Brighton, and she has been looking after her mother.

Option a seems correct.

Option d: "She is not with her husband; she says he was a 'stupid idiot'." — the summary says "her husband Bob has left her", but doesn't say she called him a stupid idiot. So probably not.

So I think a is the best choice.

For question 2, as reasoned, it's false that they meet for lunch the following Sunday.

So the answers are:

1. a

2. F

But let's confirm question 2.

The statement is: "Meet for lunch the following Sunday."

From the text, after the funeral, they go to the solicitor's, and there's no mention of any future meeting. In fact, Kate and Jan are distant, and Cindy doesn't speak to them. So likely, they do not meet for lunch.

Therefore, false.

Final answers:

1. a

2. F

But the user asked to solve the problem, and the problem is to answer the questions in "Check your reading".

So for the final answer, I need to provide the answers to both questions.

Since the format requires only the final answer after reasoning, and no explanation section since ExplainAnswer is false, I will provide the answers directly.

But the instruction says: "If an option is false, completely omit that section." and for Final Answer, "Provide only the final correct answer".

So for this, since it's two questions, I should provide both answers.

Perhaps as: 1. a, 2. F

Or since it's a worksheet, maybe list them.

I think that's fine.

So Final Answer:

1. a
2. F
