Follow a question at each branch - Online practice 3

Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.

Read before answering

Key for exactly three supplied cards: A=oak, B=grass, C=fern. First ask 'Does its life cycle include flowers?' NO leads to C. YES leads to 'Does it have a woody trunk?' YES leads to A; NO leads to B. Use this fully stated model, not unidentified living animals. A proposed extra card, buttercup, is specified to answer YES then NO, like B. A key must be tested with every included item.
