Read the following passage about fake online reviews and mark the
letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Shoppers who use the internet to research hotels, books, electronics and
other purchases are being misled by millions of “fake” reviews orchestrated by
companies to trick potential customers, the consumer watchdog warns today
as it begins an inquiry.
More than half of the adults in Britain, around 25 million people, use
online review websites such as Amazon, Tripadvisor, Expedia and Checkatrade
to find the best deals. But their impressions are “distorted” by the growth of
a “clandestine” market for fake reviews, the Competition and Market Authority
has discovered. It found some companies were breaking the law by writing
flattering posts about themselves to boost their rankings. Others were offering
money, free product samples or other “rewards” to people who write positive
reviews or give five-star ratings. In some cases, rival firms were posting
disparaging remarks to cloud the judgement of potential customers. And some
review websites were hiding negative reviews because they had commercial
arrangements with the companies facing criticism.
The scale of the issue is unknown because fake reviews are difficult to
spot, the CMA said. However, it expressed concern that abuse could be
widespread. Although some websites told the regulator just 2 per cent of
their reviews were spurious, other sources claimed the proportion was “much
higher”, the watchdog said. An investigation will now commence, and firms
found to be acting illegally will be fined and their bosses may face prison.
Consumer groups welcomed the move because research showed around
£23 billion of purchases a year were influenced by online reviews. Guy Anker,
a director of consumer advice experts website, said: “It is utterly appalling that
companies are engaging in practices where they are duping potential
customers who just want an honest appraisal of their services. Review
websites are a vital part of people’s research, whether that’s booking a hotel
or buying a product, and so visitors need to be able to trust them.”
One of the best-known specialist sites is Tripadvisor, which hosts
hundreds of millions of reviews written by and for holidaymakers. Booking
agents such as Expedia and retailers such as Amazon also provide reviews
alongside their primary function of selling a product or service. Checkatrade
has 1.8 million reviews of electricians, plumbers, builders and other
tradesmen, while Reevoo and Feefo collect and manage reviews on behalf of
clients. Many of these are free to use with revenues coming from advertising,
paid-for links, payments or commissions from the companies listed or the
provision of “reputation management” services to these firms. Some sites
have developed systems to detect and verify fake reviews, but others had not,
the CMA said.
It warned that websites were in some cases “selectively ordering”
reviews so that positive ones came to the front. “Hiding” negative reviews is
against the law, it said. The different commercial arrangements might
influence the reviews and the way they were obtained was not always clear to
users. Customers were also trying to abuse the system by “blackmailing”
companies by threatening to leave a negative review.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your

answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 40.
 A single mother with a love of outdoor sports has sparked outrage —
by rock-climbing with her toddler daughter strapped to her back. Menna
Pritchard, 26, who says she believes that “life is about taking risks” has
defended her decision to scale sheer rock faces while carrying two-year-old
Ffion. Despite her protests, Menna has been forced to defend a photograph
she posted on her blog taken as she climbed a limestone rock face at Three
Cliffs Bay in South Wales with Ffion strapped to her back. While the mom and
her climbing partner wear safety helmets in the photo, Ffion’s head is bare.
[I] “Life is all about risks, whether that’s something as simple as getting
in your car every day or climbing up a rock face.” [II] Menna split with Ffion’s
dad when she was three months pregnant and moved to Wales to live with
her parents. She is studying for a degree in outdoor education at University of
Wales, Trinity St David in Carmarthen and works part-time as an outdoor
instructor while juggling her job and education with her love of adventure
sports. [III] Ffion was just four-months-old when Menna carried her up Pen y
Fan, the highest peak in South Wales. “She slept through the whole thing,” she
said. “She was in a front carrier at that time and it really was incredibly safe.
[IV]
Menna has since walked or climbed with Ffion in The Gower, a coastal
beauty spot near Swansea, on the Pembrokeshire coast, and in North Wales.
She added: “Rock climbing, kayaking and canoeing are all fairly new to me in
the last two years but I feel I am in my element. The idea is that it’s fun and
exciting for Ffion too and hopefully I am inspiring her and giving her access to
the outdoors. Ever since Ffion was born I have been either trying to do
mountain climbing with her or forest walking or doing beach trips. It just felt
so good, not only for my physical well-being but also for my state of
mind.”
