Why this works
Build the answer from context and method together. This answer should show how the response meets the learning objective: AO2: Demonstrate critical understanding of concepts and issues relevant to language use.
In Assessment objectives, the strongest explanation links the answer to Concepts and issues in language use, uses accurate linguistic terminology, and makes the evidence serve a clear analytical purpose. If the question is exam-style, the student should move beyond naming a feature by explaining how representation works in a newspaper article representing social groups through evaluative choices.
That means connecting language choice to meaning, context, representation, audience, genre, mode or method as appropriate. The conclusion should not be a personal opinion; it should be a supported judgement about how the language data operates in relation to the task.
