Explanation
Why this works
Move from language feature to meaning-making. This answer should show how the response meets the learning objective: Collect word lists where appropriate to the investigation.
In Language Investigation, the strongest explanation links the answer to Data collection for investigation, 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 mode works in a campaign text using pronouns, modality and graphology to position readers.
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.
