| Indicates or implies ‘can’t tell’, with a reason suggesting, e.g. ‘don’t know in which direction they travel’, ‘could be (up to) 14 km apart’, ‘the graph only says distance from home’ | E1 | Ignore spurious additional information. Allow ‘can’t tell’ with e.g. ‘one sister takes a different route’, ‘different roads taken’, ‘one sister changed direction’, ‘could be 9km apart’, ‘Eleri may have taken a longer route’ Do not accept ‘can’t tell’ with e.g. ‘they don’t leave from the same place’, ‘Yvon travels slower than Eleri’, ‘schools finish at different times’, ‘the graph shows distance from home not distance from school’, ‘not known if Yvon travels in a straight line’ |
