Section A Reading non-fiction and literary non-fiction
Question
- A. Select a brief phrase, infer the implied meaning, then explain how the evidence supports it for Infer attitudes, feelings and viewpoints
- B. Copy a long section without interpreting the implication in Understanding non-fiction sources
- C. Guess an idea without using evidence for Infer attitudes, feelings and viewpoints
- 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 use a brief detail as evidence for an implied attitude, feeling or viewpoint.
Explanation
This question tests inference from evidence. The best option should not simply repeat a stated fact; it should explain what the detail suggests about a person, situation or viewpoint. A strong AO1 inference links the evidence to a plausible interpretation, making the thinking visible. This separates inference from explicit retrieval because the answer explains implied meaning rather than only naming information from the source.
Common mistake
viewpoint: 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 "Infer attitudes, feelings and viewpoints from details in a source."
