Mark scheme (AO1, 1 mark per correct point, max 4):

• Award 1 mark for each accurate, paraphrased OR briefly quoted point drawn ONLY from the specified lines.
• Points must be explicit OR a clear, supportable inference.
• Do not credit: copied chunks longer than the answer requires; points outside lines 1–10; repeated points in different words.
• Indicative content: they wear corduroy/bright neckerchiefs; they shout to attract customers; they sell from barrows; they begin work before dawn; their language is described as a distinct slang; they are predominantly male.
• L0 (0): nothing creditable. L1 (1–2): 1–2 valid points. L2 (3–4): 3–4 valid points, accurately rooted in the text.
