Try this first
A candidate discusses how a charity appeal's second-person pronouns create direct reader involvement. Which AO link is most accurate?.
- A.AO3, because the language feature is being evaluated through audience and purpose.
- B.AO2, because the answer avoids context and only debates theory.
- C.AO4, because pronouns can only be discussed in comparison questions.
- D.AO5, because the candidate is assessed for producing a charity appeal.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- AO3, because the language feature is being evaluated through audience and purpose.
Explanation
Why this works
Second-person pronouns are language features, while audience and purpose are contextual factors. Linking them to reader involvement is exactly the AO3 relationship between context, language and meaning.
