1. [1 mark]
1406
(Accept 1406 or 1406 only. Must be 4 figures.)

2. [2 marks]
1.0 km
(1 mark for correct measurement/calculation logic; 1 mark for correct unit and value. Distance is 2cm on map x 0.5 = 1.0km.)

3. [3 marks]
Description of Relief:

The land is steep / has a steep gradient (1 mark).
This is shown by the contour lines being close together (1 mark).
The height is above 20m/30m (specific value depends on map detail, but referencing elevation gain) (1 mark).
(Must link contour spacing to slope steepness.)

4. [1 mark]
Commercial / High-density Residential / Mixed Use
(Accept any plausible zone adjacent to CBD based on standard urban models.)

5. [2 marks]

Land value/rent is higher near the CBD (1 mark).
Therefore, only high-density (vertical) development is economically viable to maximize profit per square metre (1 mark).

Section B: Graph Construction and Interpretation

6. [2 marks]
170 mm

Highest: 310 mm (Dec) (0.5 mark)
Lowest: 140 mm (Jun) (0.5 mark)
Calculation: 310 - 140 = 170 (1 mark).

7. [2 marks]

Rainfall is variable throughout the year (1 mark).
There are two peaks (Nov-Dec and Jan) and a drier period in the middle of the year (Jun-Jul) (1 mark).
(Accept "no distinct dry season" if qualified with "variation exists".)

8. [4 marks]

Title: "Monthly Rainfall in Singapore (Selected Months)" or similar (1 mark).
Y-axis: Labelled "Rainfall (mm)" with appropriate scale (0-350) (1 mark).
X-axis: Labelled "Month" with Jan, Jun, Dec (1 mark).
Accuracy: Bars plotted correctly at 240, 140, and 310 (1 mark).

9. [1 mark]
Low birth rate / Declining birth rate.

10. [2 marks]

Challenge: Ageing population / High dependency ratio (1 mark).
