ESSAY QUESTIONS: TRIGGER WORDS 25 Exercise 4 Here are some more examples of triggers that may seem vague when used as single words out of context, but become much more direct in context. For each example, say how the words that surround the trigger help to direct the writer towards the task.

On the front of the paper, or at the beginning of a new section of the paper. This option tends to be chosen when all the questions to follow carry equal marks.

How does Chaucer contrast youth and age in the tale as whole? You don’t need to know the tale or the extract concerned to see that the parts of the question above build from a smaller, easier focus towards a larger, more difficult one.
