Section B Viewpoint writing

Question

A. Compare both viewpoints with a similarity, a difference and a whereas link for : develop ideas with relevant
B. Write about only one source in Developing viewpoint and argument
C. List two ideas without comparing them for : develop ideas with relevant
D. Use a quotation without explaining the contrast in Section B Viewpoint writing

Answer

: develop ideas with relevant answer: Compare both viewpoints with a similarity, a difference and a whereas link for : develop ideas with relevant.

Explanation

: develop ideas with relevant uses Compare both viewpoints with a similarity, a difference and a whereas link for : develop ideas with relevant because it matches the comparison and viewpoint focus for Developing viewpoint and argument. It separates the skill from weaker choices and keeps the response tied to the exact objective. Use AO3: compare both sources with a clear similarity, difference and whereas link instead of writing two separate summaries. : develop ideas with relevant explanation, should use brief evidence and explain what that evidence implies, so the inference is not just explicit summary. Developing viewpoint and argument should plan audience, purpose, form, tone, viewpoint, content and structure before drafting.

Common mistake

evidence: summary instead of analysis

Students sometimes summarise Developing viewpoint and argument 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 "AO5: develop ideas with relevant explanation, examples and evidence."
