In AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2 Question 3 is it appropriate to analyse punctuation because an English teacher told me off for analysing the punctuation of a Source and said I should use quotations. I have also used quotations in my answer however I felt it was important to analyse structure and punctuation to give my answer an extra level of depth. What is your opinion on this?

Do not analyse punctuation on a source because you are supposed to put it up in quotations and that means that you have to write exactly what the source says in the quotations or it would not be used as an example straight from the text.

Explanation:

i would need the available options to be listed to give you an answer.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
