Hi got a bit stuck on this question,

OFF , calf, swimming, beige, magenta.

Calf and swimming are the odd ones out, the rest are colours. I just would like to confirm, is OFF eg, off white or is it just referred to a discolour.

Thanks

Rash

Where does this question come from? I've never heard 'off' referred to as a colour ...

Hi Guest55, thank goodness I am not the only one!!! I was so confused didn't know how to explain the question to my child, having english as a second lang. I thought I may have missed it...
The paper is from another 11+ website, where you can do online tests or download papers.

I would ignore the question - perhaps Patricia or Sally-Anne will be along to comment further.

I'm here G55 - can you hear the faithful clip-clop of the old horse's hooves?

Definitely a mistake, Rash. Ignore it.

I'm afraid all papers have bugs, especially when they are from sites that churn out large numbers of free papers.

Never an 'old horse' in your case Sally-Anne

There are those - not a million miles away from where I am sitting - who would say that "old nag" might be more appropriate ...
