• False matching– Wrong criteria used to compare– E.g. The shape of the two waterbottles are different.
Waterbottle A is round while waterbottle B is blue.

• No match– No criteria used for comparison – E.g. Spotting the difference: Waterbottle A is red,
Waterbottle B is not red. – E.g. Waterbottle A is big. Waterbottle B is blue.

Topic: Housing problems experienced in the
1960sSource A: A historian describes the housing situation in Singapore in the 1960s.
Over half of the residents lived in cubicles with an average size of about 9 square metres; a high proportion of these cubicles had no windows; sanitary conditions were unbearable and the buildings badly run down.

Source B: Lim Kan San, first Chairman of the Housing Development Board, shares about his experience entering a crowded shophouse
I went into a three-storey shophouse. We counted 200 tenants living there. It was so dark and damp. Underneath the staircase was a single plank. A man was lying on the plank covered with a blanket. I paused to ask him if he was sick. “Why are you covering yourself with a thick blanket?” He replied, “I am covering myself out of respect for you. I am wearing only undershorts. My brother is wearing my pants.”
