English A exam practice: Analyse statistics and examples in persuasive texts

A persuasive student opinion article about exams uses a number and a familiar example. Choose the focus that best explains how evidence supports purpose. 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.
