Default Re: Are All IELTS Answers Correct?

Thanks a lot for your answers. Unfortunately, I don't agree with some of your answers.

1 The swimming pool doesn't necessarily have the equipment for water sports, just allows swimming.

What about diving, synchronized swimming, etc? These sports do not require any equipment from a hotel. Or, does "Help" in English language mean providing a non-free service only (like hiring) ???

3/4- Hyphen use is often a matter of judgment and different people will use them or omit them in different contexts. They should really try for consistency here, but it could be that one person did the exercises and one the answers.

It means, that even if I use a hyphen mark, which is included in the original text, because the answer sheet does not include it, I will get 0 mark for my answer. It is very sad.

5- Because the question refers to a specific organ (The organ we wish to tell you about), not organs in general.

Does it mean, that a specific organ includes pipes from bamboo only? What about 953 - 832 = 121 pipes. Those 121 pipes are made from metal (see "The others are metal") and are components of a specific organ too.
