The IEB will not enter into any discussions or correspondence about any marking guidelines. It is acknowledged that there may be different views about some matters of emphasis or detail in the guidelines. It is also recognised that, without the benefit of attendance at a standardisation meeting, there may be different interpretations of the application of the marking guidelines.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE: LATIN SECOND ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE: PAPER I – Page 2 of 13 MARKING GUIDELINES SECTION A PROSE SET TEXTS QUESTION 1 RHETORIC 1.1 si te iam, Catilina, comprehendi, si interfici iussero, credo, erit verendum mihi, ne non potius hoc omnes boni serius a me quam quisquam crudelius factum esse dicat. Verum ego hoc, quod iam pridem factum esse oportuit, certa de causa nondum adducor ut faciam. Tum denique interficiere, cum iam nemo tam improbus, tam perditus, tam tui similis inveniri poterit, qui id non iure factum esse fateatur. 1.2 (a) Catiline's followers, those involved in the plot to overthrow Rome's government; seditious individuals seen as posing a threat to safety and security. (b) Perceived as people hostile to the safety of the state and therefore warranting a strong response. 1.3 (a) Stupid, spiritless, cheats, parricides, will-forgers, hooligans, spendthrifts, debauchees, criminal degenerates, given to drinking and womanising. (b) Catiline was a politician; he had support from among many who were disgusted with the corruption among the senatorial class; they felt their ambitions had been obstructed; many senators pursued lives of luxury and excess; many of his followers were people who had been penalised for supporting the wrong side in the last civil war by having their land confiscated. 1.4 In 58 BC, Clodius, Tribunus Plebis, proposed a law sending anyone into exile who had put to death a Roman citizen without giving him recourse to the people's assembly. This was clearly aimed at Cicero, a long-time enemy of Clodius. Catiline and his followers were portrayed as martyrs for the popular cause, murdered by a conservative faction in the senate. Despite having been declared pater patriae after Catiline's conspiracy had been ended, Cicero was later forced into exile. 1.5 tam...tam...tam repeated, each time with a stronger/longer phrase following. Climax is "tam tui similis", making similarity to Catiline worse than debauchery and depravity. IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

Habetis consulem ex plurimis periculis et insidiis atque ex media morte non ad vitam suam, sed ad salutem vestram reservatum. praeterea de vestra vita, de coniugum vestrarum atque liberorum anima, de fortunis omnium, de sedibus, de focis vestris hodierno die vobis iudicandum est. 1.7 Choice of two apt phrases: 1 + 1 (e.g. impiae coniurationis; supples manus) Explanations 1 +1 1.8 (a) Concerned about possible accusations of abuse of power; certain conspirators were senators; wanted more proof. Assassination attempt changed his mind. For full marks, answer must show full understanding of situation (b) Arrest of letter-writers, Lentulus (ex-consul); role of Allobroges; admission of guilt; conspirators were put to death with full agreement of senate. 1.9 Habetis consulem ex plurimis periculis et insidiis atque ex media morte non ad vitam suam, sed ad salutem vestram reservatum. (a) Cicero (b) Heroic, (ex media morte); selfless (non ad vitam suam) saviour of the state (ad salutem vestram); dutiful and "pius". 1.10 (a) Impression of united people, state is compared to a single desperate person pleading for help to the senate: i.e. "vobis" for its very existence, for its Lares, Penates, etc. (b) Repetition of "vobis" emphasises that the people depend heavily on the senators ("vobis"). They entrust their entire safety to the senate. "Vobis" makes it personal, almost a moral obligation. IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

(b) The Romans and the Carthaginian army respectively. 2.3 (a) The battle at the River Ticinus. (b) The Carthaginians won by a huge margin; Scipio was almost killed. (c) He rescued his father, who was surrounded by the enemy. Had Scipio (elder) been killed or injured, this would have created a worse crisis than the actual defeat. 2.4 They show that the opposite is about to be proved: that Hannibal's men are as good as dead already. 2.5 He piles up adjectives and images, creating a more and more horrific depiction of the dire straits the Carthaginians are in: pupils should give clear indication that they understand the phrases, e.g. from being "umbrae hominum" to having almost nothing to fight with "quassata fractaque arma". 2.6 Scipio described as the heroic quintessential Roman leader, encouraging his troops, (give e.g.); Hannibal here painted as a brave but tragic figure. Variety of human experience: Livy depicts the hardships endured by the Carthaginians vividly. (give e.g.) Pupil should refer both to content and to style, providing evidence from the text. 5 clear and comprehensive; comment on style and content; apt support from text 4 clear and correct; apt support 3 clear, mostly correct 2 muddled, some accurate observations 1 poor, muddled, little understanding IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

(1) Hannibal's infantry moved backwards in the centre of the line, creating a semicircle. (1) Then Carthaginians started to attack from the sides; pincer movement. (1) Carthaginian cavalry returned from the rear; Romans surrounded. (1) (b) Livy claims that the cavalry treacherously pretended to throw down their weapons, leading the Romans to believe they were surrendering; They went around the back of the Roman line, as prisoners of war might do; they attacked the Romans from behind, slitting their tendons so that they could no longer walk. In other words, this was an act of vile trickery. 5 clear and insightful understanding and explanation of Livy's version 4 accurate but good understanding of how Livy has represented the events 3 fairly accurate but clear understanding of how Livy has represented the events 2 some understanding 1 superficial or muddled statement 2.10 "quidam" in various forms serves to turn the reader's attention this way and that, as if looking at the scenes on the battlefield. (1) The scenes are piteous and horrific; (1) we feel almost as if we are there along with the Carthaginians, watching the scenes unfold. (2) 2.11 4 insightful and comprehensive; apt choice of two phrases 3 accurate observations, not comprehensive; apt choice of one phrase 2 some understanding, little evidence; apt choice of one phrase 1 superficial statement, poor evidence; choice of phrases poor IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

Venus intervenes to persuade him that he must flee from Troy with his family. Creusa, his wife, is killed; her ghost appears to him to assure him that he must leave Troy. Thus pietas means obeying the will of the gods, even when it is at odds with his own instinctive beliefs and purposes. 3.8 (a) Juxtaposition and antithesis of miseri/festa; also ultimus esset/ille dies festa. Explain how meanings contrast. delubra deum alliteration – "d" is gloomy sound; reflects tragic outcome. (b) Repeated spondees in the description of the turning sky which remorselessly brings the fate of the Trojans give a slow, gloomy sound, effect of foreboding. 3.9 (a) The Trojan horse. (b) Sinon claims to hate the Greeks; statue stolen from temple of Pallas, which is central to Troy's safety; Horse is Minerva's gift, an atonement for their wrongdoing; Greeks have fled, knowing their quest is useless. 3.10 (a) Moon is personified as a silent friend, helping their secret plan. (b) Large group shows that all the major Greek heroes are in league against Troy; actual names make the account more credible. 3.11 See end 3.12 The town is sepultam – buried in sleep – foreshadowing its destruction and death. Slow spondees echo the remorseless approach and the town's somnolence. IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER

(b) Separation of words, e.g. "comitum ... ab agmine" parallels the meaning. Closeness of "ecquis adest" et "adest" shows how close Echo is to him – she is present, but not visible. (c) Any two + effect 2 + 2 = 4 4.4 (a) 4 insightful and comprehensive, well supported 3 accurate observations, not comprehensive; some support 2 some understanding, little evidence 1 superficial statement, poor evidence 4.4 (b) 5 clear and insightful progression explained well; accurate word-choice 4 clear progression, accurate word-choice, explained clearly 3 progression not entirely clear or accurate; fair understanding shown 2 some idea of the changes in emotion; some errors 1 Poor understanding, but some limited insight 4.5 See end IEB Copyright © 2018 PLEASE TURN OVER
