Read the following passage carefully.

It had been about eight weeks since Dwayne’s dog Sandy had disappeared and there was still no trace of her. Dwayne’s mother knew how attached he was to the pet and she found it most difficult to explain to him that Sandy had probably been run over or stolen and there was little hope of finding her.

Very late one night, Dwayne was half awakened by the annoying sound of the ringing of the telephone. As he covered

his head with his pillow, he could hear his mother’s voice, dull with sleep at first, then changing quickly to an exciting scream.

Slipping back to sleep, Dwayne dimly heard the slam of the front door and the purr of a car driving off.

Next morning Dwayne went to breakfast wondering if he had dreamed the events of the night before. His mother met him in the passage. “Go straight into the kitchen, dear,” she said but don’t get so excited that you can’t eat any breakfast.”

Confused by the strange greeting, Dwayne raced into the kitchen to see what was happening. When he saw Sandy sitting in her box he had kept in the corner he almost knocked over the small table as he rushed to pick her up.

Answer the following questions correctly in complete sentences.

1.

How long had Sandy been missing?

Adjectives – Comparing Adjectives Adjectives show the quality or state of something. For example: The long stick. Sometimes we need to compare the adjective.

There are three levels of comparison – positive, comparative, superlative.

Three long sticks are shown below. Each may be identified by looking at its length.

Look at the first stick only. It is not compared with the others. So simply say The first stick is long.

This is the positive form of the adjective.

Look at the first and second sticks. If their lengths are compared, say The second stick is longer than the first one.

This is the comparative form of the adjective long.

For many words -er is added to the adjective when comparing two.

Now look at all the sticks. If their lengths are compared, say: The third stick is the longest.

This is the superlative form of the adjective.

For many adjectives, -est is added when comparing three or more.

Measurement Before continuing, go to last week’s WORKBOOK (Class 1) and complete the exercise on measurement there.

Linear Measurement or Measuring lengths

The basic unit used for measuring length is the metre. The metre is made up of 100 centimetres (cm). (The prefix centi

means one hundred.) Each centimetre is made up of 10 smaller units called millimetres (mm).

For measuring long distances we use a larger measurement called the kilometre (km).

If you are measuring your waist you would not use a unit that is too large or one that is too small. The best unit for measuring your waist is the centimetre.

What unit of measure would you use to measure the length or width of the following?

NATION WORKBOOK

13

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2022.

On the part of the ruler shown below, the shortest of the strokes represent millimetres and the longest strokes represent centimetres. Notice the stroke which represents half a centimetre.

If you were measuring a distance using that ruler you would start from the first long stroke at zero (0). The numbers on the face of the ruler represent the number of centimetres.

The length of an object can be measured without starting at the first stroke on the ruler. For example, the length of the box can be found by counting the number of centimetres it spans. The box is 3cm long. The line measures 3y cm.

Identify the length of the following objects.

NATION WORKBOOK

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2022.

Changing centimetres to millimetres.

On the part of ruler shown, notice that 10 millimetres (mm) equal 1 centimetre (cm). Use this information to convert or change from one measurement to the other.

1 cm = 10 mm

1/2 cm = 5 mm

Examples: 1.

How many millimetres make 3 centimetres?

1 cm = 10 cm 3 cm = (10 mm x) = 30 mm.

2.

How many millimetres make 8y cm?

1 cm = 10 mm,

y cm = 5 mm

8 cm = 10 mm x 8 = 80 mm 8y cm = 80 mm + 5 mm = 85 mm 3.

How many centimetres are there in 40 mm?

10 mm are = 1 cm 40 mm = (40 ÷ 10) cm

4.

= 4 cm How many centimetres are there in 96 mm?

10 mm = 1 cm 96 mm = 96 ÷ 10

(96 ÷ 10 = 9 R 6; the 9 is cm the remainder is mm)

= 9 cm 6 mm Change the following centimetres to millimetres.

Read the following passage carefully.

Within the next few weeks we shall see the start of the sugar-cane harvesting in Barbados. Although significantly

fewer canes are grown on the island compared to previous years, this industry still forms an integral part of the economy of the island. Many residents look forward to “crop-time” as it means additional income from the reaping of the sugar cane.

The sugar cane was introduced to Barbados in 1642 by the Dutch. It became a main part of the history of Barbados and a major source of revenue for the island. By 1644 the sugar plantations were exporting vast amounts of sugar to Britain. As a result Barbados soon became one of the most attractive British colonies with many wealthy British investors coming to the island to start up sugar plantations.

In the early days, there were no mechanical devices used in the harvesting of sugar cane; the cane was harvested by hand and then loaded manually on to transportation

and taken to grinding mills where the juice was extracted from the sugar cane. The sugar had to be sent to Britain to be refined. Research has shown that by the 1800’s there were more than ten sugar factories across the island.

Today, the sugar industry in Barbados has been fully mechanised with the latest in

technology. Unfortunately, the cost of sugar production escalated and the price of sugar on the international market dropped.

This resulted in the closure of several sugar factories and a decline in the sugar industry.

At present Portvale Sugar Factory in St James is the only sugar factory operating in Barbados. The Barbados

Government has a long term plan to eventually quit producing sugar for export because of the cheap price for the commodity on the international market. Instead they would produce molasses from the sugar for the island’s growing rum industry and encourage the production of other products using Barbadian sugar.

The following questions are about the passage you have just read. Write the correct answer for each question in the

space provided. Pay attention to your Grammar and Spelling.

1.
