Candidates may include some of the following indicative content.\n\nStrengths\n[Example only]\n• Ability to see: The author's evidence that Zimbabwe had record inflation where 35 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars equalled one USD (EG) is credible (+) because he is based in Zimbabwe giving him first-hand experience. (EXP) This supports his argument, giving the reader confidence that his evidence is credible. (EVAL)\n• All the evidence provided is relevant and directly supports the author's conclusion.\n• The author provides clear and compelling examples: of the contrast between the treatment of Greece and Zimbabwe in the introduction and of the political impact of receiving bailouts: Yanis Varoufakis lost his job.\n• The document is published in The Africa Report – focussing on African politics and economics. Plausible source of relevant info.\n• Good use of relevant sources: The author quotes the IMF, Robert Mugabe.\n• Good use of relevant, detailed statistics: The author provides a statistic to show the size of Zimbabwe's debt (USD 10 bn) and clarifies that by giving the exchange rate. The author gives details of the money needed by Zimbabwe and compares that to the much larger amounts actually provided to Greece.\n• Dates are provided (2 May 2010), adding to the plausibility of the argument.\n\nWeaknesses\n• Some unexplained evidence: pro-indigenous policies/ sanctions/ bad management/ autocratic government/ details of Greek bailout.\n• Rukuni's lack of ability to see re Greece.\n• Some unsourced evidence: Financial markets reacted wildly. China insists that there are no more free lunches.\n• Some vague evidence: Tendai Biti was voted the best finance minister in Africa.", "totalMarks": 15, "answerPoints": [ { "type": "AO1a", "point": "\n \n
