Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Correct answer: Identify the paper, timing or mark tariff first, then match the response depth to the command word and assessment objective..
- It is correct because it links that a-level economics 7136 is a linear qualification to essay judgement and keeps the reasoning within the evidence supplied by the question.
Explanation
Why this works
The reasoning should move from cause to transmission mechanism to consequence. Use a diagram, calculation or data point if it is relevant, then test the answer with Economics evaluation: size of effect, time period, elasticity or responsiveness, assumptions, and distribution of gains and losses.
This keeps the response specific to Linear qualification rather than repeating a generic question template.
