Q1: Synthesis & Perspective-Taking

(6 marks)

Select six of the provided vocabulary words. Write a short, first-person narrative (5–7 sentences) from the perspective of a school principal facing a difficult decision about a student. Weave the words into your narrative, revealing their meaning through action, dialogue, or internal conflict. Do not simply define the words. Underline each vocabulary word you use.

Q2: Critical Linguistic Analysis

(4 marks)

Read the passage provided. For each underlined word or phrase, complete the table by identifying its part of speech, providing an appropriate synonym, and explaining why the author likely chose the original word over your synonym, considering connotation, tone, or precision.

Q3: Nuanced Application

(2 marks)

Write two original sentences. Each sentence must contain both of the indicated words and demonstrate a cause-and-effect or contrasting relationship between them.
