Sample question

Source 2A is a constructed extract for exam practice only (fictional community, not a real organisation).

Source 2A — Newsletter extract, Hopeview Interfaith Centre (constructed, fictional)
"This Sunday, members of our congregation are warmly invited to the third annual Neighbours' Morning Tea, hosted jointly with the local mosque and synagogue. Come along, bring a friend, and see for yourself how much our three communities already have in common. Light refreshments provided; all welcome."

Outline the purpose of Source 2A. (2 marks)

Answer: Worked solution

Full-mark response: The purpose of Source 2A is to inform members of the Hopeview congregation about an upcoming interfaith social event and to encourage them to attend, while also promoting a positive, welcoming view of relationships between the three faith communities involved. As a newsletter extract written in an inviting, informal tone ('come along, bring a friend'), it is designed to build attendance and goodwill rather than to provide detailed theological information.

Marking guide (2 marks): 1 mark for identifying that the source informs/invites the congregation to the event; 1 mark for identifying the persuasive/relationship-building purpose (encouraging attendance and promoting interfaith goodwill). Accept other relevant answers that correctly identify an informative and a persuasive/community-building purpose.
