1(a)[1]
Main Annotations
Candidates should identify the following from Source 1:
37 per cent
[Note: must include reference to units, i.e. per cent or %]
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 benefits from source 2:
shorter journey times
does not require fuel
less pollution
a form of exercise
easier to park
reduces traffic congestion.
1 mark should be awarded for each correctly identified benefit.
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 benefits:
shorter journey times
does not require fuel
less pollution
a form of exercise
easier to park
reduces traffic congestion.
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 positive consequences
creates spiral of virtue
other reasonable response.
Further guidance – candidates are most likely to discuss benefits from Source 2 as listed above. However, the assessment is focused mainly upon their reasoning / justification and therefore additional benefits should be credited.
The following levels of response should be used to award marks: Level 3 (3 marks) Good response
Clearly reasoned explanation explicitly linked to a benefit.
Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response
Some explanation. The link between the explanation and a benefit may be implicit / unclear at times.
Level 1 (1 mark) Limited response
A benefit is identified. There may be some limited explanation.
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:
reduced local congestion
more dangerous for pedestrians and motorists if bicycle users do not follow rules
people arriving late to work due to traffic / weather / cycle problems
local businesses suffer if people are late / absent
other reasonable response.
Candidates are likely to identify the following national consequences:
reduced pollution nationally
national economy affected if businesses have lost time/profits
cost to government of increased medical costs / increased taxes
other reasonable response.
3 marks are available for the explanation of each consequence. A total of 6 marks (3 marks + 3 marks) are therefore available for the question 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 or national.
Level 2 (2 marks) Reasonable response
A basic or partial explanation of the consequence generally related to the context – local or national.
Level 1 (1 mark) Limited response
An identification of a consequence with limited or no explanation related to the context – local or national.
Level 0 (0 marks)
No relevant response or creditworthy material.
