English A exam practice: Analyse rhetorical questions and direct address

A campaign page about reducing food waste uses questions and direct address to speak to young readers. Choose the focus that best explains audience positioning. Choose the analytical focus, evidence choice, and technique choice, then select the interpretation that best explains reader position, meaning, 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.
