Bearing in mind that the questions were for children of primary school age, such questions should be in a straightforward format. They'd learn more easily if that was so.

That said, those particular questions looked like they'd been composed by someone who knew what answers were being sought with no thought given to to the way the question was asked.

I remember at around 13 we were asked to write "instructions" for someone from Mars (!!!!) to make a cup of tea (!!!) and I remember the teacher looking at our efforts and picking out one lad's contribution and pointing out that someone from another Planet wouldn't be able to follow his simple instructions to "Boil the kettle, put the tea in the teapot and pour on the boiling water, let it stand for a few minutes, put some milk in the cup and fill the cup from the teapot". He was explaining that such a person wouldn't know what a kettle was, where the water came from, what tea was nor teapots, cups or milk.

The point of that excercise was to show us how to give instructions to someone who had no knowledge at all of how to do something. Today, you find many, many instructions make too many assumptions that those following such instructions have some prior knowledge of the subject matter and will be able to satisfactorily and easily fulfil the task in hand. They seem to assume that "it's fun finding out" when in fact all you want to do is just "do it" quickly without having to "fathom it out". How many times have you heard someone say that something was "as clear as mud"?
