Using the Mark Scheme
/ means that the responses are alternatives and either answer should
receive full credit.
( ) means that a phrase/word is not essential for the award of the mark,
but helps the examiner to get the sense of the expected answer.
Phrases/words in bold indicate that the meaning of the phrase or the
actual word is essential to the answer.
ecf/TE/cq (error carried forward) means that a wrong answer given in an
earlier part of a question is used correctly in answer to a later part of the
same question.
Candidates must make their meaning clear to the examiner to gain the
mark. Make sure that the answer makes sense. Do not give credit for
correct words/phrases which are put together in a meaningless manner.
Answers must be in the correct context.
