4 4 Study Sources D and E. How similar are these sources? Explain your answer. [7] Level Descriptors Marks L1 Describes sources OR Difference based on provenance e.g. Both sources are different because Source C contains comments made by SPCA but Source D is an article posted by a pet owner . 1 mark L2 False matching e.g. Both sources are different because Source C mentions about the number of animal abuse cases rising in Singapore, but Source D does not tell me anything about that. 2 marks L3 Similarity AND/OR Difference in content (unsupported) Award 3marks for either Similarity or Difference unsupported Award a maximum of 4 marks for BOTH Similarity AND Difference unsupported, e.g. Both sources are similar in telling me that there is a need to raise awareness on proper pet training methods. e.g. Both sources are different in their views on whether the use of electric collars on pets should be allowed. 3-4 marks L4 Similarity AND/OR Difference in content (supported) Award 5-6m for EITHER Similarity OR Difference supported Award 6-7m for BOTH Similarity and Difference supported Note : Award the higher mark for a fully supported /well explained comparison. e.g. Both sources are similar in telling me that there is a need to raise awareness on proper pet training methods. Source C states “SPCA will continue to conduct educational campaigns on animal welfare issues, and encourage the adoption of painless and humane training methods”. Similarly, Source D states “education is necessary’ and “pet owners and trainers must learn how to train pets in a safe and responsible manner”. Both sources are of the view that it is important to help pet owners and trainers understand how to train pets without causing harm or stress on the animal. e.g. Both sources are different in their views on whether the use of electric collars on pets should be allowed. Source C states “It is an an inhumane way to teach an animal using painful punishment”. This means that the electric collar should be banned as it is a cruel way to train pets and could easily be abused by people to punish their pets. However, Source D states “electric collars do not cause any pain at all when used appropriately… can make a dog more obedient”. This means that the use of electric collars should be allowed as it can be a useful training tool that causes no harm to the animal if used safely. 5-7 marks
