91198 exemplar Low Excellence (PDF | 191 KB)

Commentary

For Excellence, the student needs to interpret Latin in current use thoroughly.

This involves:

  • fully expanding on particular selected points
  • giving evidence using appropriate and unambiguous Latin references and/or quotations from resources to support answers
    supplying an English explanation for the Latin references and/or quotations.

The student has fully expanded on particular selected points, Collatinus pardoning Lucretia (1) and the events leading up Lucretia鈥檚 rape by Tarquinius (7).

Appropriate and unambiguous Latin quotations have been given from resources to support answers (2) (5).

An English explanation of the Latin quote 鈥樷渜uam鈥 dixit 鈥渧eniam datis, ipsa nego鈥 nec mora: celato fixit sua pectora ferro鈥 (2) has been supplied (3). A link between the past and today has been made by recognising that the opera inspired by Ovid鈥檚 tale expresses Christian sentiments (6).

For a more secure Excellence, the student could supply the Latin for the English translation 鈥楴either by prayer, nor gifts nor threats did he move her鈥 (8). A more thorough interpretation could also explain that the deed (4) was done under compulsion, and that in Ovid鈥檚 version Lucretia鈥檚 father also forgave her.

Commentary

For Merit, the student needs to interpret Latin in current use clearly.

This involves expanding on particular selected points unambiguously in English.

The student has expanded unambiguously on particular selected points, events leading to Tarquinius鈥 assault on Lucretia (3) and the summoning of her husband (4).

The fact that Brutus accompanies Collatinus who returns straightaway is noted as a difference from Ovid鈥檚 version (6).

 A link between the past and today has been made, by noting that Britten鈥檚 opera was set in a later era (1).

To reach Excellence, the student could supply the Latin quote for the English translation 鈥楽he summoned her aged father together with her faithful husband from the camp鈥 (5) and an English translation for the Latin quote 鈥榓rdet et iniusti stimulis agitator amoris comparat indigno vimque dolumque toro鈥 (2).

Brutus鈥 subsequent actions and the rebellion (7), a critical event in Roman history, could be fully expanded on with reference to Ovid鈥檚 poem.

Commentary

For Merit, the student needs to interpret Latin in current use clearly.

This involves expanding on particular selected points unambiguously in English.

The student has given the context of the 鈥渘ew鈥 Latin word (1). The student has expanded on particular selected points unambiguously in English by supplying the principal parts of the Latin words,grex, folliculus, pes and their meanings (2). English derivatives are given for grex and folliculus (3).

There is discussion of the components of the 鈥榥ew鈥 Latin word (4) (5) (7). An example of the use of pes (6) in Classical Latin is given.

For a more secure Merit, the student could supply derivatives for pes (5) in English and explain that folliculus (7) is a diminutive form of follis. In Latin folliculus is a noun. In addition, the student could comment that folliculus (7) appears to be used here as an adjective.
