Exercise 3

Look at the section of the 2001 census form shown at the bottom of the page.

  1. Rate the complexity factors for the tasks involved in completing sections 24 and 25 of the census questionnaire. Use the case of a citizen who lived in a different city five years ago and a different address in the same city one year ago.

  2. If the bolded words are intended to make matching search terms easier, what other two words should be bolded to assist the form-filler in the case suggested above?
