(e) ‘Political and economic strategies are the most important in overcoming the problem of food shortage.’ To what extent do you consider this statement to be true? Give evidence to support your answer. [8] A full answer does not need to include all the above points. Candidate at each level will show the following characteristics: Level 1 (0-3m) At this level, answers will be generalized or with minimal support if any given at all. Reasoning rather weak and expression may be unclear. A basic answer that has little development. Answers lack examples or other evidence, or it is so sketchy that it adds little support to the answer. L1/1 – 1 statement on political and economic strategy L1/2 – 2 statements on political and economic strategy or other strategies L1/3 – 3 statements on political and economic strategy and other strategies Level 2 (4-6m) At this level, answers will have disagreement or agreement and supported by appropriate detail. Both agreement and disagreement are considered, but support is patchy so that the answer is not full. Good reasoning and logic in parts of the answer with good expression in places. Some examples or other evidence will be presented to support answers in at least one place in answer. L2/4 – 1 political strategy + 1 example L2/5 – 1 political strategy + some description of another strategy + 2 examples L2/6 – 1 political strategy + 1 other strategy + 2 examples Level 3 (7-8m) At this level, answers will be comprehensive and supported by sound knowledge.
