Answer

Answer the question for your exam board.
  • Don’t stress yourself out. This is only a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint your exact strengths and weaknesses in essay writing, so that you can better plan your next steps.
  • Write your answers in Google Docs.
  • Aim to write anywhere between 450 to 650 words.
  • Use the knowledge that you have already gained from all the literature you have studied so far to boost the quality of your writing as much as possible.
  • Many of the techniques authors use are the same as they use when writing novels and poems; if you don’t know the exact dramatic terms, just analyse the techniques that you are familiar with, such as metaphors, similes, alliteration, setting, characterisation, and so on.
  • If you don’t know any techniques the author is using, just focus on exploring the topic of responsibility.
  • Try to structure your writing with a clear beginning, middle and ending.
  • Give 100%.

Read the following extract from Chapter 40 of Pride and Prejudice and then answer the question that follows.

Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are at Mr. Gardiner’s house, where the ladies plan to visit Georgiana. 

"[Mr. Darcy] had been some time with Mr. Gardiner, who, with two or three other gentlemen from the house, was engaged by the river, and had left him only on learning that the ladies of the family intended a visit to Georgiana that morning. No sooner did he appear than Elizabeth wisely resolved to be perfectly easy and unembarrassed; a resolution the more necessary to be made, but perhaps not the more easily kept, because she saw that the suspicions of the whole party were awakened against them, and that there was scarcely an eye which did not watch his behaviour when he first came into the room. In no countenance was attentive curiosity so strongly marked as in Miss Bingley's, in spite of the smiles which overspread her face whenever she spoke to one of its objects; for jealousy had not yet made her desperate, and her attentions to Mr. Darcy were by no means over. Miss Darcy, on her brother's entrance, exerted herself much more to talk, and Elizabeth saw that he was anxious for his sister and herself to get acquainted, and forwarded as much as possible every attempt at conversation on either side. Miss Bingley saw all this likewise; and, in the imprudence of anger, took the first opportunity of saying, with sneering civility:

"Pray, Miss Eliza, are not the ——shire Militia removed from Meryton? They must be a great loss to your family."

In Darcy's presence she dared not mention Wickham's name; but Elizabeth instantly comprehended that he was uppermost in her thoughts; and the various recollections connected with him gave her a moment's distress; but, exerting herself vigorously to repel the ill-natured attack, she presently answered the question in a tolerably detached tone. Each of the party looked at their neighbour in silence, till Kitty, who had taken up a book, sat down again, saying:

"I wish I could say anything to comfort you, Eliza; but it is wholly out of my power. You must feel it; and the usual satisfaction of preaching patience to a sufferer is denied me, because you have always so much."
