Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations

OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA) is a leading UK awarding body, providing a wide range of
qualifications to meet the needs of candidates of all ages and abilities
...


It is also responsible for developing new specifications to meet national requirements and
the needs of students and teachers
...

This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements
of the examination
...
It does not
indicate the details of the discussions which took place at an examiners’ meeting before
marking commenced
...

Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the published question papers and the
report on the examination
...


Make sure that you have accessed and completed the relevant training packages for on -screen marking: RM Assessor Assessor Online Training;
OCR Essential Guide to Marking
...


Log-in to RM Assessor and mark the required number of practice responses (“scripts”) and the number of required standardisation responses

Mark Scheme

June 2024

Multiple Choice Question Responses
When a multiple choice question has only a single, correct response and a candidate provides two responses (even if one of th ese responses is
correct), then no mark should be awarded (as it is not possible to determine which was the first response selected by the candidate)
...

Contradictory Responses
When a candidate provides contradictory responses, then no mark should be awarded, even if one of the answers is correct
...
The
response space should be marked from left to right on each line and then line by line until the required number of r esponses have been considered
...
Examiners will have to apply judgement as to whether a ‘second response’ on a line is a
development of the ‘first response’, rather than a separate, discrete response
...
)
Short Answer Questions (requiring a more developed response, worth two or more marks)
If the candidates are required to provide a description of, say, three items or factors and four items or factors are provide d, then mark on a similar basis
– that is downwards (as it is unlikely in this situation that a candidate will provide more than on e response in each section of the response space
...
Examiners will need to apply professional judgement as to whether
the second (or a subsequent) response is a ‘new start’ or simply a poorly expressed continuation of the first response
...


Always check the pages (and additional objects if present) at the end of the response in case any answers have been continued there

Team Leaders must confirm the correct use of the NR button with their markers before live marking commences and should check this when
reviewing scripts

The RM Assessor comments box is used by your team leader to explain the marking of the practice responses

Do not use the comments box for any other reason

Pentheus asks where Dionysus is / says he can’t
see Dionysus (1) but Dionysus is standing in front
of him (1)
Or
The stranger says Dionysus is where he is (1) but
Pentheus doesn’t realise he means he actually is
Dionysus (1)

Assess
against point-by-point marking grid below

P: λάζυσθε· καταφρονεῖ µε καὶ Θήβας ὅδε
...

P: ἐγὼ δὲ δεῖν γε, κυριώτερος σέθεν
...

P: Seize him! This man despises me and Thebes
...


Answers may include:
• imperative λάζυσθε suggests Pentheus has had enough of
listening to the stranger
...

• Pentheus accuses the stranger of despising the whole city, not
just him personally (µε καὶ Θήβας)
...

• repetition of σωφρονῶν / σώφροσιν shows Dionysus’
dismissiveness towards Pentheus and his guards; link to theme
of being in one’s right mind
...

• Pentheus feels the need to tell Dionysus he is more powerful
(κυριώτερος σέθεν); could be argued this undermines his
authority

doing, nor who you are

He
often shows traits of being dictatorial and dismissive towards
both his subjects and those who challenge him
...

Pentheus might be seen as not giving due time and
consideration to what the stranger is telling him, dismissing him
and the god, thus unwisely risking hubris
...
This becomes very obvious in
the second part of the text, when he is easily persuaded to go
along with the scheming of Dionysus
...
In the cultural context
of the time, his resistance might be seen as an attempt to
protect his city
...

Some might also understand Pentheus’ frustration with the
stranger’s avoidance of certain questions
...
This is likely to limit the level

(underlined = sections outside those printed on the QP):
•

the servant feels shame on trying to arrest the
compliant stranger, suggesting his loyalty to Pentheus
is not unconditional
...


•

Pentheus asks about the rites which the stranger brings
and a number of other questions
...


•

Pentheus seems genuinely concerned with the
protection of his city against the stranger’s intention to
corrupt the women
...


•

Pentheus states that he has more power and authority
than Dionysus
...


•

however, he is quickly persuaded and shows a desire to
get moving fast to the mountain
...


•

he declares that the stranger is wise and has been all
