3 Read the passage and answer the question. ‘ipsa Iovis rapidum iaculata e nubibus ignem disiecitque rates evertitque aequora ventis, illum exspirantem transfixo pectore flammas turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto.’ Translation: ‘She herself, having hurled Jupiter’s swift lightning from the clouds, both scattered the boats and churned up the seas with winds; as for Ajax, as he breathed out flames from his pierced chest, she snatched him up in a whirlwind and impaled him on a pointed rock.’ Virgil, Aeneid 1, lines 42– 45 How does Virgil, by his style of writing, emphasise the power of Pallas Athena? Make two points, each referring to the Latin. 1 ....................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... 2 ....................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... .......................................................................................................................................................... ..........................................................................................................................................................

5* Read the passage and answer the question. haec ubi dicta, cavum conversa cuspide montem impulit in latus; ac venti velut agmine facto, qua data porta, ruunt et terras turbine perflant. incubuere mari totumque a sedibus imis una Eurusque Notusque ruunt creberque procellis 5 Africus, et vastos volvunt ad litora fluctus. insequitur clamorque virum stridorque rudentum; eripiunt subito nubes caelumque diemque Teucrorum ex oculis; ponto nox incubat atra; intonuere poli et crebris micat ignibus aether 10 praesentemque viris intentant omnia mortem. Virgil, Aeneid 1, lines 81– 91 How does Virgil emphasise the destructive nature of the storm? In your answer you may wish to consider:
- how the winds behave
- what happens when the winds have been let out. You should refer to the Latin and discuss a range of stylistic features such as the choice, sound and position of words.

MARKING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION FOR MARKING
RM ASSESSOR
- Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on-screen marking: RM Assessor Online Training: OCR Essential Guide to Marking.
- Make sure that you have read and understood the mark scheme and the question paper for this unit. These are available in RM Assessor
- Log-in to RM Assessor and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the required number of standardisation responses. MARKING
- Mark strictly to the mark scheme.
- Marks awarded must relate directly to the marking criteria.
- The schedule of dates is very important. It is essential that you meet the RM Assessor 50% and 100% (traditional 40% Batch 1 and 100% Batch 2) deadlines. If you experience problems, you must contact your Team Leader (Supervisor) without delay.
- If you are in any doubt about applying the mark scheme, consult your Team Leader by telephone, email or via the RM Assessor messaging system.
- Crossed-Out Responses Where a candidate has crossed out a response and provided a clear alternative then the crossed-out response is not marked. Where no alternative response has been provided, examiners may give candidates the benefit of the doubt and mark the crossed-out response where legible. Rubric Error Responses – Optional Questions Where candidates have a choice of question across a whole paper or a whole section and have provided more answers than required, then all responses are marked and the highest mark allowable within the rubric is given. Enter a mark for each question answered into RM Assessor, which will select the highest mark from those awarded. (The underlying assumption is that the candidate has penalised themselves by attempting more questions than necessary in the time allowed.) 2
