- B. Copy a long section without interpreting the implication in Understanding non-fiction sources
- C. Guess an idea without using evidence for : identify explicit information and
- D. Retell the events instead of explaining the meaning in Section A Reading non-fiction and literary non-fiction
Answer
The correct answer is to choose a stated detail from the source and explain its direct meaning before making any inference.
Explanation
This question tests explicit retrieval. The best option should focus on information and ideas that are clearly stated in the non-fiction source. It is not asking for a guess about attitude or a language-method comment. A strong AO1 response uses one short piece of evidence, keeps the meaning direct, and shows the examiner that the student can locate accurate information before developing interpretation.
Common mistake
non-fiction: summary instead of analysis
Students sometimes summarise Understanding non-fiction sources instead of explaining how the objective works in the answer.
Correct this by selecting a brief detail, explaining its effect, and linking the point back to "AO1: identify explicit information and ideas in a non-fiction source."
