Identify one prediction from Mia’s statement. Explain why it is a prediction.
Main Annotations
Indicative Content
A prediction is a statement suggesting something is likely to happen in the future.
Candidates may identify one of the following predictions from Mia’s statement:
More women will want a career.
Women will not achieve the same pay as men until 2069.
Other reasonable response.
Award 1 mark for correctly identifying a prediction from the list above. However, candidates may use their own words.
Award 1 mark for a response that demonstrates a clear understanding of a prediction.
Further guidance – the only acceptable answers are listed above. However, candidates may use their own words.
3(b)(i)[1]
Identify one fact from Koa’s statement.
Main Annotations
Indicative Content
A fact is a statement that is true, correct, accurate or can be proven/verified. Candidates may identify one of the following examples of a fact:
women control 85% of all consumer purchases, about $20 trillion?
The skills of motherhood involve leadership and management
Women can support each other through mentoring and coaching.
Women can give each other advice and guidance on how to solve problems at work.
Women in senior positions can use their influence to get more women promoted.
A feminist says, ‘There is no limit to what we, as women, can
accomplish.’
Other reasonable response.
1 mark should be awarded for identifying one of the above.
Further guidance – note that the only acceptable answers are listed above. However, candidates may use their own words.
3(b)(ii)[2]
Explain how well this fact supports Koa’s argument.
Main Annotations
Indicative Content
Examples of the points that could be made when explaining how well facts supports the argument:
Very good support as the fact is based on evidence that gives confidence to the reader about the claim.
Some support as the fact is relevant to the argument but the argument is not based on very much factual evidence. It is not enough.
Limited support as the fact is asserted with little evidence.
Use the following criteria to award a maximum of two marks.
Award 1 mark for an attempt to say how well the fact supports the argument e.g. ‘It supports the argument quite well.’ or ‘It gives some support.’ Or ‘it supports poorly because …’ or ‘it reduces the credibility’.
Award 1 mark for making a link to the argument e.g. ‘because it provides some evidence for Luna’s argument about new technology.’ or ‘ … the fact gets the attention of the reader on workers.’
Further guidance – Q3bi must be answered correctly to be awarded marks for this question. It is expected that responses will be very brief and not developed, usually one or two sentences.
3(c)[15]
Which argument is more convincing, Mia’s or Koa’s?
Your answer should consider both arguments, and you should support your point of view with their words.

their use of language
the different types of information used.

Indicative content
Candidates are expected to evaluate the arguments presented in Source 4 and compare their effectiveness. They should make a supported judgement with some explanation about which person has the most convincing argument.
Candidates may support their judgement by considering:
Strength of reasoning:
logic
structure
balance
claims
Use of language:
tone – emotive, exaggerated, precise
clarity
Evidence:
range of information and depth
relevance
sufficiency – sample
source – media; internet
date – how recent
different types of information – fact, opinion, value, anecdote
testimony – from experience and expert
Sources of bias
local interest
economic
personal values
experience
Possible consequences of the ideas presented
Acceptability of their values to others
how likely other people are to agree with their perspective/view The following levels of response should be used to award marks:
Level 5 (13–15 marks) Very good response
Wide range of clear, credible, and well explained points about which argument is more convincing. Coherent, structured evaluation of both arguments with clear comparison.
The response usually contains three (or more) developed evaluative points and may include some undeveloped points.
Material from the sources is used as evidence to support the evaluation; frequent reference to the evidence and/or arguments in the source throughout the response e.g. quotation/summary of ideas.
A well supported judgement is clearly reached.
Level 4 (10–12 marks) Good response
A range of clear, explained points about which argument is more convincing. Evaluation of both arguments, with some comparison.
The response usually contains two (or more) developed evaluative points and may include some undeveloped points. A wide range (four or more) of undeveloped but clearly appropriate points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level.
Material from the sources is used as evidence to support the evaluation; some reference to the evidence and/or arguments in the source e.g.
quotation/summary of ideas.
A supported judgment is reached.
Level 3 (7–9 marks) Reasonable response
Some strengths and/or weaknesses of the arguments are identified or described but mainly not explained. Evaluative points are partially supported or simply described/asserted. Some discussion of both arguments, with an attempt at comparison, or an evaluation of only one argument.
The response usually contains one (or more) developed evaluative points, possibly with some undeveloped points; three (or more) undeveloped points may be sufficient to enter this band at the lower level.
Material from the sources may be used occasionally to support the evaluation. The response may lack some clarity and be difficult to follow at times. A judgement is reached.
Level 2 (4–6) Basic response
A few points about which argument is more convincing. There may be only one argument considered in any detail, with little attempt at comparison. Evaluative points are asserted or descriptive but not explained and lack clarity and/or relevance at times.
The response usually contains two (or more) undeveloped points.
A judgement may be reached.
Level 1 (1–3 marks) Limited response
Limited unexplained points about which argument is more convincing. The response considers the arguments briefly and/or tangentially. There is little clarity. Answers at this level may repeat source material with little
understanding or simply agree/disagree with the arguments presented. The response may not contain any clear evaluative points.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
Further Guidance
Responses that discuss only one argument may achieve Level 3 but no higher.
