Use of English
What happens if candidates miss a negative in the transformations, thereby giving the opposite meaning to the original?The instructions to the candidate state that the second sentence must have a similar meaning to the first. However, in the mark scheme the answer is divided into two parts (see below). The two parts of the sentence (either side of the dividing line) are always treated separately, so a candidate will receive one mark for correctly completing one part of the sentence even if a negative has been omitted from the other part.
e.g. I've never thought of asking the hotel staff for advice about restaurants.
