Oops

Disappointingly, there haven't been many howlers in the exam marking so far. However, the passage is about drug cheats in sport and the writer says there has been a "smorgasbord of examples" of this in all types of competitions. Various candidates' answers make it clear that they assume that smorgasbord is a banned substance.

I vaguely fantasise about young people whispering to each other at wild parties in the next few months about whether they've tried any yet.

My knowledge of wild parties is somewhat limited.

  4. Brilliant! It does sound vaguely illegal, it has to be said. But fun. 'I went to a friend's racy party and we played Smorgasbord' ... that kind of fun.

  6. Wild = parties with smorgasbord, obviously. I've never been to one of them.
