Example answers
In countries where men and women have equal access to advanced education,
nowadays they have equal opportunities to become inventors. However this has only happened in Europe for about 100 years, and in some parts of the world, girls still don’t receive any education at all. In the past, women finished school and then stayed at home and looked after children. Therefore women had less time to invent.

Suggested answers
1Check these people: Dr Verlag Meyer, Cheops, Arl Marahall, Tony Benik
2The text says ‘Japanese scientists’. Not very specific!
3Not clear who the author of the text is. Investigate source: ‘source of article can be found HERE’.
4Check ‘Cosmic News’ website: what can we find out about it and who created it.
5Check places in the text: Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis, Cay Sal
6Uses ‘pseudo’ scientific language: preliminary results, new discovery, experts, conference, high resolution data, ‘energy field’, ‘quantum vacuum’, pulsating crystal, etc.
7Photographic evidence: lots of pictures and high resolution data but no photos. Investigate photographs of large pyramid discovered by Arl Marahall 1977 and huge pyramid discovered by Tony Benik.
8Source of the article: not official or clear scientific source – mentions American and French scientists, news discussed
