  1. 1. ANSWER THE QUESTION [4]
    Go back to the language of the question more regularly.
    2. ADDRESS CONTEXT [4]
    Clearly focused on this, but try to make this underpin the answer to the question.
    3. APPLY THEORY [3]
    Good range, but try to dig a little deeper into their significance.
    4. USE EXAMPLES [2]
    Need these to be much more specific and detailed.
    5: ANALYSE EXAMPLES [2]
    Lack of examples, means that there is less evidence of analysis of these examples.
    6: COMPARE [4]
    Consistently attempts to shift between the two.
