1(a)[1]
From Source 1, how many cities monitor air pollution?
Assessment objective: identification of information
Main Annotations
Candidates should identify the following from Source 1:
Six thousand
(6000)
1 mark should be awarded for identifying the answer above.
Further guidance – the only acceptable answer is listed above. However, candidates may use their own words.
1(b)[2]
From Source 2, identify two advantages of using electric vehicles. Assessment objective: identification of information
Main Annotations
Candidates may identify the following advantages from source 2:
Do not produce exhaust gas pollution
Require less maintenance
Less noisy
Can be recharged locally at home or at work
Recharging is cheaper than paying for fuel
1 mark should be awarded for each correctly identified advantage. Further guidance – the only acceptable answers are listed above. However, candidates may use their own words.
1(c)[3]
Which advantage of using electric vehicles do you think is the most significant? Explain why.
Assessment objective: creating a line of argument using reasons and evidence
Main Annotations
Indicative content:
Candidates may identify one of the following advantages:
Do not produce exhaust gas pollution
Require less maintenance
Less noisy
Can be recharged at home or work
Recharging is cheaper than paying for fuel
Candidates may give the following reasons, any of which could be used, to justify their choice:
Has greatest impact
Affects most people
Effects are significant e.g. improves health/reduces pollution
Ethically or morally most justifiable
Has multiple positive consequences
Creates spiral of virtue
Affects other aspects of life in society.
Other reasonable response
The following levels of response should be used to award marks:
Level 3 (3 marks) Good response
Clear explanation of significance explicitly linked to the selected advantage. Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response
Some explanation of significance. The link between the explanation and an advantage may be implicit/unclear at times.
Level 1 (1 mark) Limited response
A consequence is identified but with limited or no explanation of significance. Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
1(d)[6]
Explain why the problems of pollution from transport are an important local issue.
Assessment objective: creating a line of argument using reasons and evidence
Main Annotations
Indicative content:
Cost of monitoring air pollution
More health care needed locally
Life expectancy reduced so a change in age ranges locally
Local environmental damage/pollution
Time lost at work if workers are ill from the effects of pollution
Trade with other areas/cities will be affected
Impact on economy
Impact on tourism
Other reasonable response
The following levels of response should be used to award marks:
Level 3 (5–6 marks) Good response
Clearly reasoned, credible and structured explanation of importance. The local dimension is explicit.
Level 2 (3–4 marks) Reasonable response
Some reasoned explanation of importance. The local dimension is implicit at times.
Level 1 (1–2 marks) Limited response
Limited reasoning and explanation of importance. Explanations are partial, generalised and lack clarity. The local dimension is not apparent.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
‘We need less polluting forms of transport for the future.’
