Wording of questions_aPRIL 2008, 6

I sat this paper under E.C and can say the wording was really confusing for this two questions, it wasn't clear what the examiner was saying..."such of the parents two sons who are then still alive" to me appeared to say the sons need to be both alive.

Is this a possible interpretation despite the fact that the examiner was saying something else, or is it because English is not my first language?

Even question 7 is confusing, it wasn't clear that the examiner was looking for the cost to the person aged 40 of providing a pension for themselves. Just a simple choice of words can mean someone loses marks.

Does anyone agree that some of this questions can be 'worded' better??

 

I did this paper last night as a native English speaker I also thought the wording in that question was a bit strange.

I couldn't think of the "correct" way to word it though so I shouldn't complain. I haven't marked my attempt yet so I shall wait and see if I interpreted correctly.
