TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper Answer Key — Geography H1 A-Level (Version 2)
Total Marks: 50
Section A (20 marks)
Q1 [5 marks]
Teaching note: Students must explain CAUSES of changes, not just describe.
Mark breakdown: 2 marks for identifying trends from resource, 3 marks for causal explanation.
- Trend: Waste generated rose from 3200t (2010) to 4800t (2020); recycling rate increased 22%→38%. [2]
- Cause 1: Population and consumption growth drove higher waste; city invested in recycling infrastructure (e.g., sorting facilities). [1.5]
- Cause 2: Policy incentives (e.g., landfill tax) shifted behaviour; public education improved participation. [1.5]
Common mistake: Only describing lines without "because".
Q2 [5 marks]
Teaching note: Characteristics must link to map evidence.
- Char 1: High-density informal housing — map shows tightly packed small structures without planning; reflects rural–urban migration exceeding formal housing. [2.5]
- Char 2: Inadequate drainage/sanitation — open drains and unpaved paths near industrial zone show service deficit and pollution risk. [2.5]
Q3 [4 marks]
(a) Slums concentrate poverty & health risks; managing them reduces disease, aiding social sustainability. [2]
(b) Upgrading slums improves land use efficiency and reduces environmental degradation, supporting urban sustainability. [2]
Q4 [6 marks]
Eval marking: judgment + strengths + limits.
- Resource 3 useful: quantitative proof of reimaging success (visitors 0.2m→1.8m, jobs up). [2]
- Resource 4 useful: visual confirms physical transformation. [1]
- Limits: Table lacks social equity data; photo is superficial, no displacement info. [2]
- Judgment: Together moderately useful but need social impact data. [1]
Section B (14 marks)
Q5 [7 marks]
- Diff: Low-income city has more organic (56% vs 28%) and less paper/plastic; high-income more packaged waste. [3]
- Implication: Organic waste compostable → lower landfill if managed; high-income plastic needs recycling tech. [2]
- Sustainability: Low-income cities need decentralised composting; high-income need circular economy. [2]
Q6 [7 marks]
- Gap cause: B is informal, lacks municipal reach & funding (grid 41% vs 99%). [3]
- Hinders sustainability: Poor waste collection causes pollution; no water/grid limits human dev. [4]
Section C (16 marks)
Q7 [16] Level 4 descriptor (11–13+): Evaluative, examples, balanced.
Content: High-income (e.g., Germany dual system) success via funds; low-income (e.g., Lagos) partial due weak institutions. Counter: some LDC community success. Conclusion: economic/institutional key but not sole.
Q8 [16] Similar: Reimaging (e.g., Barcelona) lifts liveability; but gentrification / resource use may hurt sustainability. Eval needed.
