''The project was ambitious in its size, complexity, triparty nature, and in its pioneering of the Private Finance Initiative. This difficulty was unavoidable and contributed to the project's failure. However, a more prudent estimation of the unknown difficulties and timescales would have enabled the Department to better assess the merits of the project.
In December 1997 XSoft indicated they needed more time, which should have been inevitable. If the Department knew from the start how long the project would take, it is questionable whether they would have considered inception; especially considering the implications of delay on their business case for the project.''
Q1.1: The Department's profits were dependent upon how long the project took.
A,B or C?

''A well-nourished child can be more likely to be a studious one. But food has been seen as a cost to be cut, rather than an ingredient of good schooling. That may now be changing: as the government worries about obesity -which is fast rising among children- and urges everyone to eat less salt, fat and sugar, and more fruit and vegetables, the deficiency and unhealthiness of most school meals is striking. But cash constraints make change hard.''
Q2.1: Children who eat healthily will perform better in exams.
Q2.2: Nowadays, more children are obese than in previous years.
Q2.3: School meals would improve if schools had more money.
