Eight Comprehension Texts with detailed answer explanations

The first five texts are presented as structured comprehensions. Each text is divided into short sections (such as a verse or paragraph), with questions placed directly underneath. This layout helps pupils focus on one part of the text at a time, encouraging careful reading, accurate retrieval, and focused analysis before moving on. The questions in these sections include both multiple-choice and short free- response formats, assessing the full range of skills required in the SEAG exam.

The final three comprehensions are laid out in the exact style of the SEAG assessment. Each is followed by a fixed set of 13 questions (7 multiple-choice and 6 free-response), carefully designed to replicate the official exam structure and level of challenge.
