Either 1 (a) Read this passage carefully, and then answer the question that follows it: Lily: Didn’t you hear me ringing the bell, nearly froze my ass out there. [She displays her legs.] These stockings, thank God for ’em, just ain’t no competition for this weather. Remind me, take a note, need for weather-resistant stockings. Period. Stop! [to ERMINA] Ernestine, is that my gal? Ernestine [to audience]: And there now is Aunt Lily, the first colored woman we’d seen dressed up like a white lady. Smart looking and posture straight. She’d been to Harlem … For us country folk that is the equivalent of reaching the promised land. Lily: Ernestine, is that my gal? Ermina: Ermina! [Shuts the door] Lily: But haven’t you grown. Ladyish and whatnot. How’s my baby doing? Where’s my hug? Ermina: Don’t know who you is. Can’t be giving out loving to anybody that ask. [LILY laughs. GODFREY enters to investigate the noise.] Lily: Ain’t that the truth. [Strikes a pose, then takes off her coat and throws it across the chair] Ermina: Who you? Lily: Who I? Precious! If that ain’t a question! It’s me, your Aunt Lily, Sister. [ERMINA takes a long hard look. GODFREY gawks.] [Tentatively] Now Godfrey, ain’t you got words for me? Godfrey: Sister Lily? Sister Lily Ann Green? Lily: Who else? Never thought you’d bring your country ass on up here. You ole alligator bait. But don’t you look … good, Daddy. [LILY walks over and embraces GODFREY. He stiffens awkwardly, uncomfortable with the display of affection. GODFREY takes a few steps backward and looks down at the ground.] Godfrey: I’ll be damned! This here is your Mama’s sister. Remember? [The girls do not respond.] Lily: That’s all right. Memories need maintenance. I won’t hold it against y’all. You’re still “y’all,” ’cause some folks come North get all siddity on [Relishes] “y’all.” [GODFREY sits, then stands.] Godfrey: Lawd, I’ve gotten so used to seeing strangers, barely know what to do with a familiar face. You’re looking … smart, Sister Lily. Lily: Now don’t tell me you’re surprised! 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40

Some pleasures you never stop looking forward to. Lily [flirtatiously]: Well now! That tongue still got a taste of honey. [An awkward moment. GODFREY looks away from LILY, who smiles seductively.] Godfrey: Ain’t heard no word from you since … since … Well. [Bows his head, unable to continue] We tried to track you down up there in Harlem. Ain’t like a small town where your bizness is a matter of public record. Lily [amused]: This the big city, Godfrey, don’t want everybody to know ya. They got names for women like that. Oh hell, that’s why there’s the telephone … But I forgot ya from the country, probably don’t know how to use the telephone. [Cackles] And don’t think it was easy to find “y’all.” Do like to say it, “y’all.” I can smell the orange blossom and the pig roasting on the spit … (from Act 1 Scene 2) How does Nottage make this such an entertaining introduction to Aunt Lily?

8 0475/22/F/M/22 © UCLES 2022 WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: Twelfth Night Remember to support your ideas with details from the writing. Either 4 (a) Read this passage carefully, and then answer the question that follows it: Malvolio: M – Malvolio; M – why, that begins my name. Fabian: Did not I say he would work it out? The cur is excellent at faults. Malvolio: M – But then there is no consonancy in the sequel; that suffers under probation: A should follow, but O does. Fabian: And O shall end, I hope. Sir Toby: Ay, or I’ll cudgel him, and make him cry ‘O!’ Malvolio: And then I comes behind. Fabian: Ay, an you had any eye behind you, you might see more detraction at your heels than fortunes before you. Malvolio: M. O. Α. I. This simulation is not as the former; and yet, to crush this a little, it would bow to me, for every one of these letters are in my name. Soft! here follows prose. [Reads] ‘If this fall into thy hand, revolve. In my stars I am above thee; but be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em. Thy Fates open their hands; let thy blood and spirit embrace them; and, to inure thyself to what thou art like to be, cast thy humble slough and appear fresh. Be opposite with a kinsman, surly with servants; let thy tongue tang arguments of state; put thyself into the trick of singularity. She thus advises thee that sighs for thee. Remember who commended thy yellow stockings, and wish’d to see thee ever cross-garter’d. I say, remember. Go to, thou art made, if thou desir’st to be so; if not, let me see thee a steward still, the fellow of servants, and not worthy to touch Fortune’s fingers. Farewell. She that would alter services with thee, THE FORTUNATE-UNHAPPY.’ Daylight and champain discovers not more. This is open. I will be proud, I will read politic authors, I will baffle Sir Toby, I will wash off gross acquaintance, I will be point-devise the very man. I do not now fool myself to let imagination jade me; for every reason excites to this, that my lady loves me. She did commend my yellow stockings of late, she did praise my leg being cross-garter’d; and in this she manifests herself to my love, and with a kind of injunction drives me to these habits of her liking. I thank my stars I am happy. I will be strange, stout, in yellow stockings, and cross-garter’d, even with the swiftness of putting on. Jove and my stars be praised! Here is yet a postscript. [Reads] ‘Thou canst not choose but know who I am. If thou entertain’st my love, let it appear in thy smiling; thy smiles become thee well. Therefore in my presence still smile, dear my sweet, I prithee.’ 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45

Fabian: I will not give my part of this sport for a pension of thousands to be paid from the Sophy. Sir Toby: I could marry this wench for this device. Sir Andrew: So could I too. Sir Toby: And ask no other dowry with her but such another jest. (from Act 2 Scene 5) Explore how Shakespeare makes this moment in the play so entertaining.

10 0475/22/F/M/22 © UCLES 2022 WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: Othello Remember to support your ideas with details from the writing. Either 5 (a) Read this passage carefully, and then answer the question that follows it: Iago: There are a kind of men so loose of soul That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs: One of this kind is Cassio. In sleep I heard him say ‘Sweet Desdemona, Let us be wary, let us hide our loves’, And then, sir, would he gripe and wring my hand, Cry ‘O sweet creature!’ then kiss me hard, As if he pluck’d up kisses by the roots, That grew upon my lips – then laid his leg Over my thigh – and sigh’d, and kiss’d, and then Cried ‘Cursed fate that gave thee to the Moor!’ Othello: O monstrous! monstrous! Iago: Nay, this was but his dream. Othello: But this denoted a foregone conclusion. Iago: ’Tis a shrewd doubt, though it be but a dream, And this may help to thicken other proofs That do demonstrate thinly. Othello: I’ll tear her all to pieces. Iago: Nay, but be wise; yet we see nothing done; She may be honest yet. Tell me but this: Have you not sometimes seen a handkerchief Spotted with strawberries in your wife’s hand? Othello: I gave her such a one; ’twas my first gift. Iago: I know not that; but such a handkerchief – I am sure it was your wife’s – did I to-day See Cassio wipe his beard with. Othello: If it be that – Iago: If it be that, or any that was hers, It speaks against her with the other proofs. Othello: O that the slave had forty thousand lives! One is too poor, too weak for my revenge. Now do I see ’tis true. Look here, Iago – All my fond love thus do I blow to heaven. ’Tis gone. Arise, black vengeance, from the hollow hell. Yield up, O love, thy crown and hearted throne To tyrannous hate! Swell, bosom, with thy fraught, For ’tis of aspics’ tongues. Iago: Yet be content. Othello: O, blood, blood, blood! Iago: Patience, I say; your mind perhaps may change. Othello: Never, Iago. Like to the Pontic sea, Whose icy current and compulsive course Ne’er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on To the Propontic and the Hellespont; 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45

11 0475/22/F/M/22 © UCLES 2022 Even so my bloody thoughts, with violent pace, Shall ne’er look back, ne’er ebb to humble love, Till that a capable and wide revenge Swallow them up. [He kneels] Now, by yond marble heaven, In the due reverence of a sacred vow I here engage my words. Iago [kneeling]: Do not rise yet. Witness, you ever-burning lights above, You elements that clip us round about, Witness that here Iago doth give up The execution of his wit, hands, heart, To wrong’d Othello’s service! (from Act 3 Scene 3) How does Shakespeare make this moment in the play so disturbing? Or 5 (b) Iago calls Roderigo a ‘silly gentleman’. How far does Shakespeare’s portrayal of Roderigo encourage you to agree? 50 55

It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes.

0475/22 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED February/March 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 2 of 5 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0475/22 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED February/March 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 3 of 5 English & Media subject specific general marking principles (To be read in conjunction with the Generic Marking Principles (and requiring further guidance on how to place marks within levels)) Components using level descriptors: • We use level descriptors as a guide to broad understanding of the qualities normally expected of, or typical of, work in a level. • Level descriptors are a means of general guidance, and should not be interpreted as hurdle statements. • Where indicative content notes are supplied for a question, these are not a prescription of required content, and must not be treated as such. Alternative correct points and unexpected answers in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the knowledge and skills demonstrated. • While we may have legitimate expectations as to the ground most answers may occupy, we must at all times be prepared to meet candidates on their chosen ground, provided it is relevant ground (e.g. clearly related to and derived from a relevant passage/text and meeting the mark scheme requirements for the question). Components using point-based marking: Point marking is often used to reward knowledge, understanding and application of skills. We give credit where the candidate’s answer shows relevant knowledge, understanding and application of skills in answering the question. We do not give credit where the answer shows confusion. From this it follows that we: a DO credit answers which are worded differently from the mark scheme if they clearly convey the same meaning (unless the mark scheme requires a specific term). b DO credit alternative answers/examples which are not written in the mark scheme if they are correct. c DO credit answers where candidates give more than one correct answer in one prompt/numbered/scaffolded space where extended writing is required rather than list-type answers. For example, questions that require n reasons (e.g. State two reasons…). d DO NOT credit answers simply for using a ‘key term’ unless that is all that is required. (Check for evidence it is understood and not used wrongly.). e DO NOT credit answers which are obviously self-contradicting or trying to cover all possibilities. f DO NOT give further credit for what is effectively repetition of a correct point already credited unless the language itself is being tested. This applies equally to ‘mirror statements’ (i.e. polluted/not polluted). g DO NOT require spellings to be correct, unless this is part of the test. However spellings of syllabus terms must allow for clear and unambiguous separation from other syllabus terms with which they may be confused (e.g. Corrasion/Corrosion).

0475/22 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED February/March 2022 © UCLES 2022 Page 4 of 5 Introduction For general administrative guidance, see Notes for Examiners Handbook. All questions are marked out of 25. Assessment Objectives The Assessment Objectives are evenly weighted across each question. The assessment objectives for the paper are: AO1 show detailed knowledge of the content of literary texts, supported by reference to the text AO2 understand the meanings of literary texts and their context, and explore texts beyond surface meaning to show deeper awareness of ideas and attitudes AO3 recognise and appreciate ways in which writers use language, structure, and form to create and shape meanings and effects AO4 communicate a sensitive and informed personal response The Band Descriptors cover marks from 0 to 25 and apply to the marking of each question. They guide examiners to an understanding of the qualities normally expected of, or typical of, work in a band. They are a means of general guidance and must not be interpreted as hurdle statements. For the purposes of standardisation of marking, they are to be used in conjunction with the Practice and Standardisation scripts discussed during the coordination meeting and with Team Leaders, as well as the question-specific notes.
