What can you learn from Source A about Prohibition?
Candidate A
We can see from some men in the painting. One of them has a bottled
tied behind his back. Another is carrying a still which contains alcohol.
Candidate B
Source A suggests that Prohibition did not work. It suggests that people
used many ingenious methods to get alcohol and some people would go to
any lengths to get alcohol.
Candidate C
Source A suggests that Prohibition did not work because there are a great
number of people making alcohol. And there were many ingenious
methods to get alcohol with some people concealing it behind their
backs. It also suggests that some people would go to lengths to get
alcohol.

Example answer

Source C supports the evidence of Source B about the
attitude of the police to speakeasies. Source C suggests that
the police were bribed when it says he was handed an
envelope which was a payoff. He opened the envelope and
there was $75 in it. Source B supports this when it says the
owners of the speakeasies would bribe the captain of the
police with a $50 bill every so often. Both suggest that the
police were given money to turn a blind eye to speakeasies.

Example P.E.E.L
paragraph
Part (c), 15 marks
The bad harvests of 1788 was quite an important cause of the French Revolution.
This was because of the inequalities of the Ancien Regime. The Ancien Regime
meant that France was divided up into 3 estates. The 1st estate was the clergy and
they had privileges such as no taxes, no military service and had the right to be
tried in a church court. The 2nd estate was the nobility and they had privileges
such as no taxes, could wear a sword in public and had legal rights (could be
beheaded rather than hanged). The 3rd estate was everyone else and they had no
privileges. Source A shows us just this during the bad harvest. The 1st and 2nd
estates are bearing down on an exhausted looking 3rd estate that is lying down.
The source shows us that the 1st and 2nd estates thought they were more superior
to the 3rd estate, so when the bad harvest struck, they continued to eat in the
same way, which made it harder for the 3rd estate. This made the 3rd estate angry
and could have led to the revolution. Therefore the bad harvests of 1788 was an
important cause of the French Revolution.

Candidate A
One key features was modernisation. Deng saw that China needed to
increase production and modernise industry to support its huge
population which was close to one billion (1000 million). In 1979 a new
and ambitious Ten Year Plan was introduced. Many new factories were
built and workers were paid bonuses for extra output. People were free
to own their own businesses. To satisfy demand, record numbers of
consumer goods, such as bicycles, watches and sewing machines, were
produced. Foreigners were encouraged to visit China and invest their
money, even from the old enemy, the USA.
In the countryside the size of peasant plots was increased. A
Responsibility System for commune land was started in 1978, by which
families were given responsibility for cultivating areas of land within
their commune. They signed contracts promising to produce fixed amount
of food for sale to the state, and were allowed to sell any surplus at
market for a profit.
