Yes, Panel 6 was ironic because the protagonist stated "I will keep going up and up..." however it showed that he was descending in his vehicle , or it vice versa.
Aww I thought it was Panel 4, because he said something about boring flat surfaces, while Hobbes was pushing him at a high speed, with speed lines indicating bumping and such. o__O

in the last calvin and hobbes question, why did the tiger talk... was it to comment on the bad driving or to say a safe life is best?

I was confused between both 6 and 4 but decided to go for 4 as 6 had irony but it was too subtle for a school cert exam I reckon.

Hmm wasnt there also one somewhere they were going downhill and the boy said he wanted to only go up?

I cant remember the comic too well, it seems the comic we are looking for is the calvin and hobbes published on February 11, 1986. Lol google search ftw = ).

I thought it was a great exam. The extended response questions, were the same text types in our trial, so the year 10 at my school, had speech writing and narrative writing lectures from our english teachers. A few tricky multiple choice, short answers did seem to become a bit repeptitive after a while. . .
3 Weeks from today.

i did the keys
and it is completely different to any other key idea
so it will either go really well or very poorly
did anyone else use the word fugacious?
no just me
right.

The English was very easy when compared to other years :)

Overall, I think I did pretty well

I got discouraged from thinking that it was a pocket watch because everyone told me that it was a stop watch. They could be wrong?

Sure hope they don't mind if it was a stopwatch!
