| B | Eight short-answer questions of 4 marks each (32 marks). A question is either one 4-mark answer (distinguish on four bases, state any four points), two 2-mark parts, or four 1-mark parts based on a short case, picture or data chart. Internal choice in two questions. | 32 |
| C | Four long-answer questions of 8 marks each (32 marks). Q12 is always a scenario-based business letter / e-mail to be drafted (8 marks; extracted as q_type case_study so it fills this slot); the other three are split into 4- and 2-mark parts (e.g. 'briefly explain' four terms) and a passage/data-based case study with 1-2 mark parts. Internal choice in one question. | 32 |
