lesson
A response can admit a limit
1 · Learn
After a presentation, listen to the whole question, identify its challenge and answer with relevant evidence. If information is missing, state the limit and explain what would help. Inventing a figure to appear confident undermines the argument.
For a question about how all residents feel, one supplied letter is insufficient. You can explain its value as one perspective and propose wider consultation.
2 · Worked example
'The letter shows one concern; it is not a survey of all residents' is a direct and accurate response to a representativeness challenge.
3 · Your turn
What should you do if asked for a statistic not present in your evidence?
Check your answer
Say the evidence does not provide it and identify how reliable information could be obtained; do not invent it.
4 · Apply your learning
Present a short argument and practise answering one supportive and one challenging question.
Adult guidance and safety
Use supplied evidence and allow defensible alternative readings. Do not manufacture quotations or treat model responses as the only valid phrasing. Whole-text literary study, period breadth, chosen examination texts and board-specific assessment require separate completion.
