The student's proposed topic was inappropriate for the selected subject of the essay, resulting in a maximum allocation of four marks for criterion A due to the choice of inappropriate texts. The research question lacked sufficient detail and could have been improved by including specific techniques such as visual symbolism and allusion. Additionally, the research question was presented as a statement in the introduction, and the planned process for conducting the essay was not discussed. However, the student effectively outlined the purpose behind the research question, justified its choice, and connected it to existing knowledge. The essay also incorporated source material in a critical manner and referenced a variety of sources to support the student's arguments and develop a relevant conclusion.
