SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines
INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS
1. Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions.
2. These marking guidelines serve as a guide to markers. Some responses may
require a marker's discretion, while others may be expanded at the national
marking guideline discussion.
3. Candidates' responses should be assessed as objectively as possible.
MARKING THE COMPREHENSION
Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in
responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the
meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.)
If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined,
disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise.
However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an
answer, this will be acceptable.
For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I
AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be
considered.
When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives a whole sentence,
mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/ highlighted.
When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first
two/three.
Accept dialectal variations.
For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the
correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full.

SECTION A: COMPREHENSION
QUESTION 1
1.1 1.1.1 Money was used as an incentive to get children to undertake/
complete chores. (2)
1.1.2 People learn that money brings happiness. (1)
1.2 It suggests that her research was extensive as there were a number of
experiments conducted.The results of her research can therefore be
considered to be thorough. (2)
1.3 Just as dopamine is a drug that makes one feel good, so too does spending
money.It provides instant satisfaction rather than lasting/long-term
fulfilment. (2)
1.4 1.4.1 One would stress about how to get moneyto take care of one's
needs. (2)
1.4.2 grateful (1)
1.5 1.5.1 Only a few people are interested in saving money. (1)
1.5.2 If one has/makes money, it should be invested rather than
spentso that one can accumulate more money in the long term. (2)
1.6 Objects lose their appeal quickly./The novelty of having a new object is
short-lived. Objects are not able to provide long-term happiness. (2)
1.7 'to the point of recklessness or getting into debt'. (1)
1.8 The lottery winners did not work for their money so they often do not
understand the value of it.
They spend their money impulsively.
Friends and family constantly borrow from them.
NOTE: Accept any TWO of the above answers. (2)
1.9 The writer includes the views/opinions of different experts/ professionals on
the subject of money and happiness in order to lend credibility/ authenticity to
the article. Claudia Hammond has written a book on the subject and
Charné van der Walt highlights the idea of how to manage money
properly. (2)

SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines
1.10 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.
Agree.
The reality of the world we live in is that money is required for survival and if
one cannot survive, one cannot be happy. Therefore, the first step towards
happiness is attaining financial security. This will enable one to ultimately
pursue a path of happiness.
OR
Disagree.
The best things in life are free. One does not need money in order to be
happy. A simplistic life that does not involve the accumulation of wealth but
rather, the pursuit of spirituality is more likely to make one truly happy.
NOTE: Do not award a mark for Agree/Disagree.
Accept other suitable responses. A candidate can score 1 mark for
an answer that is not well-substantiated. Accept a combination
answer. (2)
1.11 The title, 'THE PRICE OF HAPPINESS' is suitable because it encapsulates
the two aspects that are explored in the passage: money and happiness.
Price is associated with money and the implication is that money can buy
happiness, an assertion that this passage disputes. Price can also be
associated with 'suffering'. The price you pay when you are reckless in
spending and acquiring debt.
OR
The title is not suitable because the passage explores the idea that money
cannot buy happiness. However, the title, 'THE PRICE OF HAPPINESS'
implies that happiness is dependent on money.
NOTE: Accept other suitable responses. A candidate can score 1 mark for an
answer that is not well-substantiated. Accept a combination
answer. (2)
1.12 B/annually (1)
1.13 To emphasise the frequency of the number of deaths from influenza. (1)
1.14 Pregnant women
People with cardiovascular/heart disease
Children/toddlers
NOTE: Accept any TWO of the above answers. (2)

1.15 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.
Yes.
The visual of two people in white coats represents the health-care
professionals one may go to in order to seek treatment for influenza. The
image of them standing is placed next to the words: 'LET'S TAKE A STAND
AGAINST FLU' which suggests that it is the health care provider who will play
a vital role in helping one to fight the flu.
OR
No.
The inclusion of the visuals does not enhance the message of the text in any
way. The words clearly inform the reader what action to take in order to fight
the flu. Therefore, the visual is not really required in the text.
NOTE: Accept other suitable responses. A candidate can score 1 mark for
an answer that is not well-substantiated. Accept a combination
answer. (2)

3.6 Open-ended. Accept a suitable response, e.g.
Yes.
The visual of a tiger is effective because it is associated with being
energetic/swift. This visual suggests that if one eats the energy bar, then one
will be energetic/swift.
OR
No.
The visual is not effective because it has a tenuous link with the written
content of the advertisement. The visual appears to be a random picture that
has nothing to do with the idea of energy.
NOTE: The above are merely examples. A candidate can score 1 mark for
an answer that is not well-substantiated. Accept a combination
answer. (2)

reaction/response). (2)
