  7. Pupil B- 2 marks: Pupil B's answer is totally correct as the meaning is not changed, there are no grammar, punctuation and vocabulary mistakes.
    Pupil C - 0 marks: Pupil C's answer is wrong. Unless = if not.
    If Pupil C writes it in that way, it have a different meaning thus, the answer is wrong.
