English A exam practice: Analyse conflict between private and public selves

A novel extract in an empty kitchen shows a gap between public speech and private feeling. Choose the focus that explains appearance and hidden pressure. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains meaning, reader position, audience response, or comparison.

Worked practice: build the analysis

Construct the analysis one move at a time, the way an examiner reads it: focus, evidence, technique, then effect.
