Choices

SACE Year 11English Literary StudiesContext and interpretationhardtext
5. A SACE Year 11 English Literary Studies response links an Adelaide festival volunteer guide used for English Literary Studies to questions of community participation in English Literary Studies. Which statement best uses context without reducing the text?

Context proves there is only one possible meaning.
The text should be ignored because context is enough.
Characters cannot be interpreted through setting.

The texts cannot be compared because one has a meeting.
Both texts use exactly the same method.
