Explanation
Why this works
Use terminology as a route into interpretation. This answer should show how the response meets the learning objective: Analyse the functions, structure and organisation of texts.
In Textual variations and representations, the strongest explanation links the answer to Textual shaping and representation, 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.
