In short
A correct first detail does not cancel a contradictory addition. Check every claim you include against the passage. Supported extra information can remain accurate, but a wrong room, time or condition changes the meaning of the answer. This activity practises textual accuracy, not an official marking formula.

Atelier de reliure
L’atelier de reliure aura lieu de 10 h à 12 h dans la salle C. Merci d’arriver dix minutes avant le début pour vous installer. Aucun paiement n’est demandé. Le matériel est fourni.
Every response below starts with the correct time. The sorting decision concerns the additional claim. In the first bucket, all the information remains supported. In the second, at least one added detail conflicts with the notice. A concise answer can simply say À 10 h.

A small change can alter the instruction
Salle C and salle D differ by one letter, yet direct the reader to different places. Likewise, arriving ten minutes early means 9 h 50, not 10 h 30. The correct start time at the beginning of a sentence does not make either changed instruction harmless.
L’atelier commence à 10 h. Il est demandé d’arriver à 9 h 50.
The workshop begins at ten. Participants are asked to arrive at nine fifty.
Unknown and contradicted are distinct
An unsupported detail such as du café sera offert is not supplied, but it is not directly contradicted either. That still gives you no basis to add it as a fact. This sorting exercise deliberately uses additions that are either supported or contradicted, so the two buckets are clear. In your own response, omit claims you cannot establish.
When answering a practical reading question, identify the requested fact and include only useful, supported context. This makes your response easier to assess and reduces the chance that an unnecessary claim changes a correct answer into an inaccurate account.
