1(a)[1]
Main Annotations
Candidates should identify the following from Source 1:
2400 km – the units must be present to award a mark
1 mark should be awarded for identifying the above.
Further guidance – the only acceptable answer is listed above. However, candidates may use their own words.
1(b)[2]
Main Annotations
Candidates may identify the following problems from source 2:
More fossil fuels used.
Increased congestion.
Food is less fresh when eaten.
More pollution.
More packaging required.
Higher carbon dioxide emissions.
Less business for local farmers.
1 mark should be awarded for each correctly identified problem up to a maximum of 2 marks.
Further guidance – the only acceptable answers are listed above. However, candidates may use their own words.
1(c)[3]
Main Annotations
Indicative content
Candidates may identify one of the following problems:
More fossil fuels used.
Increased congestion.
Food is less fresh when eaten.
More pollution.
More packaging required.
Higher carbon dioxide emissions.
Less business for local farmers.
Candidates may give the following reasons, any of which could be used, to justify their choice:
Has greatest impact.
Affects most people.
Ethically or morally most justifiable.
Has multiple negative consequences.
Creates spiral of harm.
Other reasonable response.
Further guidance – candidates are most likely to discuss problems from the source as listed above. However, the assessment is focused mainly upon their reasoning / justification and therefore additional problems should be credited.
The following levels of response should be used to award marks:
Level 3 (3 marks) Good response
Clear explanation explicitly linked to a problem.
Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response
Some explanation. The explanation and link to the problem may be implicit / unclear at times.
Level 1 (1 mark) Limited response
A reason is identified; there may be some limited explanation, though not necessary for award at this level.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
1(d)[6]
Main Annotations
Indicative content
Candidates are likely to identify the following local consequences:
Increases congestion on local roads.
Food is less fresh when eaten.
More pollution in local area.
Packaging may cause litter in local area.
Less business for local farmers.
More choice of food in shops.
Benefits to local economy.
Candidates are likely to identify the following global consequences
More fossil fuels used.
More pollution.
Higher carbon dioxide emissions.
Benefits global economy.
3 marks are available for the explanation of each consequence. A total of 6 marks (3 marks + 3 marks) are therefore available for the questions as a whole.
The following levels of response should be used to award marks:
Level 3 (3 marks) Good response
A clear and full explanation of the consequence explicitly related to the context – local/global.
Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response
A basic or partial explanation of the consequence generally related to the context – local/global. Occasionally may be unclear.
Level 1 (1 mark) Limited response
An identification of a consequence with limited or no explanation related to the context – local/global. Explanation, if present, may be difficult to follow. Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
