Thanks Amy!

[@skeleton_trees]

Is there a point in reading the text if ur answering question B or is the text just for answering question A??

[@conorobrien1232]

Sometimes you can get ideas from the text so it solely depends on the question

[@ProGamer-dx1rb]

So the paper has gone back to answering an A and a B question rather than just answering one of them right ?

[@gavinjennings4267]

Yes you answer both a and b

How does the A4 paper equate to the scannable sheets

ye, i dont know what it is with him, I'm fairly bad at english but give me a question about Derek mahon and I can actually give a good answer, I think its just the fact his poems have good backstorys
