Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each the following questions
Children assessed as having special educational needs come to school with a wide range of
different needs. A particular disability may not affect learning in a way that means a child needs
extra educational support, or indeed it may not affect the capacity for learning at all. Learning
together with other children in a mainstream classroom without specialist support may be all that
a child needs.
Many children with special educational needs can therefore be fully included in
mainstream classes without any additional teaching or care supports. Others may need additional
teaching and/or care assistance or assistive technology to support them in mainstream classes.
Some children, with greater needs, may benefit from being placed in a special class in
mainstream schools where there are smaller numbers of pupils in the class. Other children, with
complex needs, may need supportive interventions provided in special schools.
During their school life, children may move from one setting to another as they get older or
as differing needs, strengths or abilities emerge. It is important that educational placements are
kept under review by the school, parents and other professionals involved. Children with special
educational needs should be facilitated to move from one placement to another, where this is
appropriate to meet their changing needs and abilities.
Most children with special educational needs are placed in one of the following settings:
1. ordinary classes in mainstream primary or post-primary schools
2. special classes in mainstream primary or post-primary schools
3. special schools.
In all of the above settings, children with special educational needs can be provided with an
appropriate and differentiated school curriculum, where necessary, and fully qualified
professional teachers. The term “differentiated curriculum’ means that teachers adjust their
teaching to take account of children's different needs and abilities. A certain number of these
children, who have more complex needs, will have access to individualised education
programmes. Children with additional care needs may have access to a special needs assistant
(SNA), where this is necessary and appropriate.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
The popularity of organic foods can be traced to many people’s nostalgia for a simpler,
more pioneer-like lifestyle. And many people believe that organic foods are safer than foods
produced on a large scale by traditional methods. Many people also believe that these organic
foods contain more and better nutrients than conventional food.
In fact, plants absorb all their food directly from the soil in inorganic form, no matter where
the nutrients may originally have come from. Experiments in Michigan and in England that went
on for twenty-five years were unable to find any difference in plants raised organically and plants
raised with chemical fertilizers. Things that do affect nutrient content are climate, time of
harvest, and genetics - but no difference results when plants are grown organically.
Neither are organically grown plants free from chemicals such as pesticides. Some
pesticides leave traces in the soil for years; these traces may be absorbed by the plant that is
“organically” grown. Rainfall may wash pesticides from neighboring farms onto “organic” fields,
and sprays or other applications of chemicals may drift and cause the same problem.
Furthermore, all foods – whether grown conventionally or organically - may contain toxic
substances to some degree; the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains constant checks
to ensure that these substances are kept at a harmless level. But aflatoxin, a mold that causes
cancer, may grow on crops such as peanuts, or be present in milk. Lead and arsenic are
sometimes present in bone meal or seafood. And many vegetables contain poisonous compounds

such as oxalic acid and nitrite compounds. The point is, all these toxins may be present in a given
food, no matter how the food was grown and cultivated. Toxic substances in food do not
necessarily have to come from fertilizers or chemical sprays.
