Component 01 Question 1: finding and explaining information

Component 01 Question 1 (4 marks, AO1) on a few named lines of Text 1 (in recent papers, the 19th-century text): short parts that ask you to give words or phrases and to explain what one of them shows, with the 4 marks shared differently from paper to paper.
Giving exactly what each part asks for, a quotation where it asks for one and a brief explanation where it asks you to explain, and why only the first answer in each space counts.
The worked example uses two linked texts about hard journeys to a long-sought goal, both printed in the lesson: Text 1, from Isabella Bird's letters 'A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains' (1879), on her climb of Long's Peak, and Text 2, from Captain Scott's journal for the days in January 1912 when his party reached the South Pole.
Answers that would and would not earn the marks, and why.
A short checklist of the steps for each part.
