No fixed answer is provided by OCR. A high-level response might focus closely on Sam Lowbridge's racist disruption at the fete, using precise textual evidence to explain how prejudice affects Meena and analysing the language used to convey its impact.
Why this answer loses marks
Reusing the part a extract instead of choosing another moment.
The examiner report says many Q1(b) responses could not be credited because they used the extract set for part a.
