Paper 2 Question 2 is the summary question. This question assesses your ability to write a summary by synthesising and interpreting evidence from both sources, according to a given focus. Question 2 will ask you to comment on the source text in Section A and Section B. The texts will always be non-fiction texts from either the 19th, 20th or 21st century. You will be asked to provide a summary on some aspect of both sources. Question 2 assesses you on AO1 only:
