Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Explaining how standard language ideology affects judgements about different English varieties.

AO2 is demonstrated by critical understanding of concepts and issues. Standard language ideology and judgements about English varieties are conceptual issues, so the correct option fits AO2 more directly than counting, creative writing or unused definitions.
