Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

  1. Give your personal opinion about the text
  2. Locate and state specific details directly from the passage
  3. Rewrite the passage in your own words entirely
  4. Analyse the author's use of literary devices
Show answer & explanation

The command word 'identify' requires the student to locate and state specific information found directly in the text. It does not require personal opinion, full paraphrase, or literary analysis.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A prose extract describes a marketplace as 'a riot of colour and noise.' This is an example of which literary device?

  1. Personification
  2. Simile
  3. Metaphor
  4. Oxymoron
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CMetaphor
The phrase 'a riot of colour and noise' is a metaphor because it directly equates the marketplace to a riot without using 'like' or 'as.' A simile would require a comparative word, and personification would give human qualities to a non-human subject.
