Clearly reasoned explanation explicitly linked to a consequence with one developed point or three relevant but undeveloped points.
Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response
Some explanation with two (or more) undeveloped points. The link between the explanation and a consequence may be implicit / unclear at times. Level 1 (1 mark) Limited response
