Model answer
What a good answer should say
- It identifies graphological and lexical features, then explains them using accurate linguistic terminology.
Explanation
Why this works
The correct option clearly fits AO1 because it names language levels and requires accurate terminology. Personal opinion, summary or original production may be useful elsewhere, but they do not by themselves demonstrate AO1.
