Question 32

The community oven booking

Source A: an original contemporary non-fiction-style account.

I booked the community kitchen's large oven to bake bread for a fundraising lunch. The booking covered two hours on Saturday morning and included use of the mixing bowls, but ingredients had to be supplied by the baker. I brought flour, yeast and salt in a crate. The kitchen coordinator showed me the oven controls and where to record the temperature checks before leaving me to work.

My first tray held six small loaves. I set a timer instead of relying on the wall clock, which had stopped. While the bread baked, I washed the bowls and wiped the worktop. The second tray needed a few extra minutes, so I telephoned the lunch organiser to say the delivery would be slightly later than planned. I left the kitchen before my booking ended, carrying the loaves in clean boxes. The coordinator inspected the room before returning my deposit. Next time, I decided, I would allow more time between baking and serving.

Refer to the whole of Source A. Choose the four true statements below. Write their four letters in the answer box. Choose no more than four; if more are given, only the first four distinct letters will be marked.
