Some marking instructions are internally inconsistent. Confirm the current pattern with your department; the practice questions here do not claim to reproduce it.

Paradise Lost has no book or line range in this honours paper; do not import the Semester I line range.
Examination scheme wording was missing from the first transcription and has been filled from the owner-supplied PDF (p.30); the full college copy prints the same text across pp.119–120.
