State two requirements of WJEC's Band 5 AO4 descriptor (2 marks)

Question: State two features that distinguish a Band 5 (9–10 mark) AO4 response from a Band 3 response.

Mark scheme (2 marks — 1 mark per valid point, max 2):

• 'Perceptive' or 'detailed' evaluation rather than 'sound' or 'clear' (1)
• Use of 'pertinent' / 'well-selected' textual references (1)
• References are embedded into the candidate's own syntax rather than bolted on (1)
• Sustained critical judgement of the writer's success, not just description of methods (1)
• Awareness of audience, purpose, context affecting the effectiveness judgement (1)

Accept any two of the above for full marks.
