This is material that was cut: present in a draft, absent from the published novel.

In the published book. This material does not appear in the published book.

Evidence. Independently corroborated. At the report level (Debraski's survey + the direct Newsweek carrier), still single-witness per item; the scans remain the strongest tier. Documented by Paul Debraski's survey of the draft record; the underlying Newsweek prose report is now digested directly the Newsweek archive report — it describes cut draft material in its own words: "a hilariously hard grammar quiz proctored by one protagonist's mother"; a halfway-house panhandler with schemes for fleecing financiers; more Canadian-terrorist/intelligence-agency dialogue than the editor could "personally stomach".

Further notes. Archiving the rehosted scans is an open follow-up in the Debraski note (Newsweek's own link is dead). Walls's "grammar quiz proctored by one protagonist's mother" is plausibly the same artifact as this block's "Avril's grammar-class exam" — plausible identity, NOT asserted (same discipline as the Roberval/Marguerite case in diff-dec94-executed-cuts). Walls also characterizes the drafts' overall progression: "greater and greater emphasis on the novel's characters, often at the expense of stylish literary asides" the Newsweek archive report — the report-level shape of the 1993–95 revision direction. The panhandler and extra-AFR-dialogue items are otherwise recorded nowhere else in this archive's cut inventory.
