Additional Notes for Full Marks:

1. Grammar Rules Applied:

   • Adverbs modify verbs (e.g., creatively).
   • Subject-Verb Agreement: "One of" requires singular verbs (is).
   • Prepositions: "On foot" is the correct phrase.
   • Modals: "Might" indicates possibility in past contexts.
   • Future Perfect: "Will have got" shows completion before a future event.
   • Connectives: "Despite" introduces contrast.
   • Passive Voice: The subject (experts) becomes the object of the verb.
   • Indirect Speech: Tense shifts (Did → had) and "asked if" replaces direct quotes.

2. Common Mistakes to Avoid:

   • Using plural verbs with singular subjects ("one of the students are").
   • Incorrect prepositions ("by foot" instead of "on foot").
   • Overusing "can't" when "might" fits better for uncertainty.
   • Forgetting tense shifts in indirect speech ("Did you" → "had you").

3. Structure for Longer Answers (if expanded):

   • For questions like (i) and (j), explain the transformation step-by-step:
     • Passive Voice: Focus on the object (1.35 billion people) and rephrase the sentence to start with it.
     • Indirect Speech: Change reporting verbs (said → asked), adjust pronouns (me), and shift tenses (past simple → past perfect).
