The number of marks allocated to each question serves as a guide to the expected length of your answer. NOTE: Answer the questions set on BOTH extracts, i.e. QUESTION 1.1 and QUESTION 1.2. 1.1 EXTRACT A [Bathseba Everdene had left the neighbourhood.] His incipient friendship with her aunt had been nipped by the failure of his suit, and all that Oak learnt of Bathsheba’s movements was done indirectly. It appeared that she had gone to a place called Weatherbury, more than twenty miles off, but in what capacity – whether as a visitor, or permanently, he could not discover. 5 Gabriel had two dogs. George, the elder, exhibited an ebony- tipped nose, surrounded by a narrow margin of pink flesh, and a coat marked in random splotches approximating in colour to white and slate grey; but the grey, after years of sun and rain, had been scorched and washed out of the more prominent locks, leaving 10 them of a reddish-brown, as if the blue component of the grey had faded, like the indigo from the same kind of colour in Turner’s pictures. In substance it had originally been hair, but long contact with sheep seemed to be turning it by degrees into wool of a poor quality staple. 15 This dog had originally belonged to a shepherd of inferior morals and dreadful temper, and the result was that George knew the exact degrees of condemnation signified by cursing and swearing of all descriptions better than the wickedest old man in the neighbourhood. 20 [Chapter 5] Copyright reserved Please turn over

Troy went across to her. 5 ‘Come Madam, do you hear what I say?’ he said, peremptorily. A strange voice came from the fireplace – a voice sounding far off and confined, as if from a dungeon. Hardly a soul in the assembly recognised the thin tones to be those of Boldwood. Sudden despair had transformed him. ‘Bathsheba, go with your husband!’ 10 Nevertheless, she did not move. The truth was that Bathsheba was beyond the pale of activity – and yet not in a swoon. She was in a state of mental gutta serena; her mind was for the minute totally deprived of light at the same time that no obscuration was apparent from without. Troy stretched out his hand to pull her towards him, when she quickly shrank back. 15 This visible dread of him seemed to irritate Troy, and he seized her arm and pulled it sharply. Whether his grasp pinched her, or whether his mere touch was the cause, was never known, but at the moment of his seizure she writhed, and gave a quick, low scream. [Chapter 53] 1.2.1 State reasons why Bathsheba does not act on Troy’s commands.

NOTE: Answer the questions set on BOTH extracts, i.e. QUESTION 2.1 and QUESTION 2.2. 2.1 EXTRACT C [Regile and Taiba are having their first conversation.] He says, “I don’t tell lies to my people.” “You say that now.” Taiba doesn’t speak for a bit. I swear I can feel him thinking. Maybe he’s trying to decide whether or not to challenge what I’ve said. 5 He switches off his lamp at last and the only light is a brown-ish glow coming from where the men are still talking angrily. I can hear that one of them is looking after the man who has been shot, but even he speaks roughly, telling the man to shut up when he shouts out in pain. 10 Taiba says, “This mine, Regile? The people owning it?” His voice reaches me from a level that tells me he still sitting up. “I don’t know.” All these questions are making me impatient. “One of the big mining companies.” That’s what the men say. Only the big companies can pay for security firms. “Why they leave the mine open?” 15 “They don’t. It’s not used – all the entrances are closed up. That’s why it’s so dangerous. It hasn’t been inspected for years. But the syndicates always find ways to get in. They break through fences, smash up concrete barriers. There are plenty of these mines. I wasn’t always in this one.” 20 [Chapter 1] 2.1.1 Choose a description from COLUMN B that matches the word in COLUMN A.

Another younger couple drive to Fernlea House. They say they don’t need me to walk with them but I can watch their car. I think they’re 5 worried about the baboons damaging it. When they come back they give me a five rand. No one else comes. Seven rand of the day. That’s all. When I get back to Papa’s, I can hear him shouting in the house. Katekani must have done something wrong, like making his tea too weak. 10 I’m almost at my room when I hear Katekani scream. I stop. Now Papa is shouting again, and in between and under the shouting is Katekani’s voice going up and down in fast, frightening bursts. Then she screams again, and this time she goes on screaming. I turn and run to the house. 15 When I get there, Papa is punching Katekani with his hard fists. He is bent over her because she’s cowering on the floor. She can’t get away because she has lost her grip on her sticks. As I arrive, Papa kicks one of them away to the other side of the room. Katekani is sobbing now, and somehow that’s even worse than her screaming. 20 [Chapter 8] 2.2.1 Refer to line 1. (‘It is not…with them, but’) (a) What day is Regile referring to?

Two lots of trouble in two days! Yesterday I got the strap for nothing. Nothing at all. I see this bloke walking down the street wearing a pink bow tie. It looks like a great pink bow tie. 5 It looks like a great pink butterfly attacking his neck. It is the silliest bow tie I have ever seen. ‘What are you staring at, lad?’ says the bloke. He is in a bad mood. ‘Your bow tie,’ I tell him. ‘It is ridiculous. It looks like a pink vampire.’ It is so funny that I start to laugh my head off. 10 Nobody tells me that this bloke is Old Spodge, the Principal of the school. He doesn’t see the joke and he gives me the strap. Life is very unfair. Now I am in trouble again. I am sitting here outside Old Spodge’s office waiting for him to call me in. Well, at least I’ve got something good to look at. 15 Old Spodge’s secretary is sitting there typing some letters. She is called Miss Newham and she is a real knockout. Every boy in the school is in love with her. I wish she was my girlfriend, but as she is seventeen and I am only fourteen there is not much hope. Still, she doesn’t have a boyfriend so there is always a chance. 20 She is looking at me and smiling. I can feel my face going red. ‘Why have you dyed your hair blond?’ she asks sweetly. ‘Didn’t you know it is against the school rules for boys to dye their hair?’ Copyright reserved Please turn over

As I stayed for only an hour, I wasn’t able to get in a word about the sheep- dip, but Krisjan managed to tell me quite a lot about the things he did at the age of nine. 5 When Lettie came in with the coffee I made a casual remark to her father about Gideon van der Merwe. ‘Oh, yes, he’s an interesting young man,’ Krisjan Cordier said, ‘and very intelligent. It is a pleasure for me to relate to him the story of my life. He says the incidents I describe to him are not only thrilling, but very helpful. 10 I can quite understand that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is made a sergeant one of these days. For these reasons I always dwell on the more helpful parts of my story’. I didn’t take much notice of Krisjan’s remarks, however. Instead, I looked carefully at Lettie when I mentioned Gideon’s name. 15 She didn’t give much away, but I am quick at these things, and I saw enough. The colour that crept into her cheeks. The light that came in her eyes. On my way back I encountered Lettie. She was standing under a thorn-tree. With her brown arms and her sweet, quiet face and her full bosom, she was a very pretty picture. 20 4.2.1 Refer to line 1.

The Chimney Sweeper – William Blake When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry ‘weep! weep! weep! So your chimneys I sweep, & in soot I sleep. There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head, 5 That curl’d like a lamb’s back, was shav’d: so I said ‘Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head’s bare You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.’ And so he was quiet, & that very night, As Tom was a-sleeping, he had such a sight! 10 That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned & Jack, Were all of them lock’d up in coffins of black. And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he open’d the coffins & set them all free; Then down a green plain leaping, laughing, they run, 15 And wash in a river, and shine in the Sun. Then naked & white, all their bags left behind, They rise upon clouds and sport in the wind; And the Angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy, He’d have God for his father, & never want joy. 20 And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark, And got with our bags & our brushes to work. Tho’ the morning was cold, Tom was happy & warm; So if all do their duty need not fear harm. 5.1.1 Refer to Stanza 2: Lines 1–2.

Composed Upon Westminster Bridge William Wordsworth Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty; This City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, 5 Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did the sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; 10 Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! The very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! Copyright reserved Please turn over
