    • A

    • B

    • C

    • D

    Correct Answer
    A. A

    In case anyone's interested, the oboe provides the A and everyone else tunes their A to that note, to make sure everyone's the same. The oboe has a bright, penetrating sound, and is generally more stable a note than the other instruments.

    True or False - everyone in the UK has to fill out a tax return?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Luckily for us, very few people in the UK have to fill out a tax return. Most people have tax deducted from their payslip, and if that's their only income they don't normally have to fill out a tax return - if you receive child benefit though, and either you or your partner earns over £50,000 then you will have to fill one in, so don't get caught out!
