Question
Question: From lines 1–6 of the source, identify one word the writer uses to describe the city.
Mark scheme (AO1, 1 mark):
- 1 mark for any single accurate word retrieved from the specified line range, quoted exactly.
- 0 marks for paraphrase, words from outside the line range, or multiple-word phrases beyond what the question asks.
- Example acceptable answers: 'squalid', 'teeming', 'cavernous'.
- Common error: copying a phrase ('a cavernous, squalid pit') when only one word was required — examiner takes the first word only.
