Your responses need not be written as flowing essays. Simply answer each question on its own. Your answer can be very basic—simply a topic sentence, followed by support drawn from the text. You do not need formal introductions or conclusions.
Label each individual response for Task 3 before you submit the whole Task 3 set (Part A1, Part A2, Part B1, Part B2, Part C).
