Explanation
link the claim to brief textual evidence and explain the effect for evidence chain is correct because it uses textual evidence, literary reasoning and precise terminology. In Great Expectations, this means the student should explain what the evidence suggests, how the writer's language, form or structure creates meaning, and where relevant how context or comparison shapes interpretation. The other options drift into plot retelling, unsupported opinion or separated comments.

Common mistake
Great Expectations: confusing language vs form vs structure
A weak Great Expectations answer treats AO2: analyse the language, form and structure used by the writer to create meanings and effects, using relevant subject terminology where appropriate. as plot recall, unsupported opinion or loose quotation use instead of literary analysis.
Keep language vs form vs structure clear. Make a claim, use brief textual evidence, analyse the writer's method and explain how it shapes meaning, context, theme, character or comparison. Text-specific focus: Great Expectations is not interchangeable with the other 8702 texts. For this Shakespeare response, anchor the paragraph in class and identity, then use brief textual evidence to explain how the writer develops ambition. A useful Great Expectations answer can contrast guilt with social mobility, because that gives the analysis a text-specific line of argument instead of a reusable AO paragraph. Method work should notice how language, form or structure frames narrative voice. Context should be used only when it clarifies interpretation, reader response or audience response. When comparison is relevant, compare both texts or poems directly: whereas one detail may suggest class, another may reveal identity or ambition. Keep the vocabulary exact: character, speaker, narrator, writer, poet and playwright are not the same role, and the evidence must be explained after it is selected.
