These marking guidelines serve as a guide to markers. Some responses may require a marker’s discretion. 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.

(2) 1.8 Open-ended. Accept a suitable answer, e.g., Yes/Agree. Being an influencer means your job is to influence people to follow you. This would mean that you need to do whatever you can to ensure that you can get as many followers as possible. Being an influencer also means that, depending on your following, you can earn money. All this is done on social media – which means that you must expose yourself to all forms of social media if you want people to follow you. ✓✓ OR No/Disagree. Sometimes it is not so much about influencing people to do what you want them to do, like buying a product you are advertising. Sometimes it is about sharing something you find that works for you and you feel it could help them. It is not about how many followers you have but about how many people you can assist with something. You might not be someone who enjoys social media but because that is the platform you can use to reach so many people you make the sacrifice and do it. NOTE: The above are merely examples. Do not award a mark for Yes or No. Accept other suitable responses. A candidate can score 1 mark for an answer that is not well-substantiated. Accept a combination answer. (2) 1.9 Open-ended.

So just like you have an entrepreneur who starts a business and does what he/she can to reach as many people as possible and earn a living, influencers also try to reach as many people as possible and in so doing, earn money. OR The title is not suitable because it states that influencers are modern day entrepreneurs.
