Students should remember that this is a question on their set text, and has been carefully constructed accordingly. The primary focus is a question on the set text (Discuss ways in which X presents X in X) and the secondary part is to (make connections and comparisons with the following passage). Students should respond accordingly and root their answer in the set text. They might like to use the unseen extract as a springboard or ‘way in’ to the set text. They have 15 minutes of recommended reading time for this question, which we suggest should be spent reading and annotating the unseen in order to draw relevant connections or comparisons to their set text.
