Answering "In Your Own Words" Questions

This page provides a detailed guide on how to answer RUAE questions Nat 5, specifically focusing on "In Your Own Words" questions. The process is broken down into four key steps:

  1. Read the question carefully, highlighting or underlining the core phrase.
  2. Note the number of marks to determine how many points are needed.
  3. Find and highlight the answers in the passage.
  4. Translate the highlighted points into your own words, using bullet points.

Example: For a 2-mark question asking about explanations for haunted places, the answer might include:

  • A deliberate scam
