Component 2 Question 15: drawing details from both texts

The 4-mark AO1 question on both texts: explaining briefly what each text says about one shared point, making clear which text each detail comes from.
Answering concisely, a sentence or two on each text, since the marks are few.
The worked example uses two texts about pioneering journeys made possible by new technology, both printed in the lesson: a GOV.UK news story from 2016 about the astronaut Tim Peake's return from the International Space Station, and the actor Fanny Kemble's 1830 letter about riding beside George Stephenson on his new railway engine, from her memoir 'Records of a Girlhood'.
The news story is printed with the credit line its licence asks for: 'Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.'
What separates the mark ranges, in our own words, and a model answer with the level and mark an examiner would give, and why.
A weaker and a stronger answer to the same task side by side, with what lifts the weaker one to the next level.
