✍️ Sample OLNA Questions & Answers
1. Tina is t years old. Lisa is 6 years older than Tina. Together their ages total 26. Which equation represents the girls’ age structure?
Explanation: If Tina is t years old, then Lisa must be t + 6, not 6t (this is times). Now add the ages together t + t + 6 = 2t + 6. 2t + 6 = 26
2. A health pamphlet for teenagers uses slang and social-media references, while one for doctors uses clinical terms. What does this show?
Writers choose vocabulary and style to connect with their specific readers.
3. A story told by a narrator who knows the thoughts and feelings of every character uses which point of view?
An omniscient narrator has access to all characters' inner thoughts.
4. A flyer reads: 'Attendance is compulsory. Contact us in advance if you cannot attend.' What can be inferred?
Compulsory attendance and a requirement to give advance notice imply that unexplained absence is not acceptable.
5. A writer calls a council decision 'reckless and short-sighted.' What do these word choices reveal?
Words like 'reckless' and 'short-sighted' carry strong negative meaning, so they show the writer disapproves of the decision.
6. An article about a new freeway quotes only local business owners who support it. What does this most suggest about the article?
Quoting only supporters leaves out opposing views. That one-sidedness suggests the article favours the freeway.
