Question 1 on Paper 2 is worth 4 marks and is designed to be the quickest, most accessible question on the paper. It tests your ability to identify explicit information — facts that are directly stated in one of the two texts.
A typical Q1 might read:
Read again Source A from lines 1 to 12. Choose four statements below which are TRUE. Shade the boxes of the ones that you think are true.
You will be given eight statements and must select the four that are true. Each correct answer earns 1 mark.
| Requirement | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Read the specified lines only | Only use information from the given line references |
| Identify explicit information | The correct statements will be directly supported by words in the text |
| Select exactly four statements | Choosing more or fewer than four may cost marks |
| Do NOT analyse or infer | This is a retrieval question — no analysis or inference is needed |
