Original LADDER English practice material — not an official AQA paper.
Choose the word you'll analyse
Scaffolding level
Scaffolding fades as you get stronger. You can change it whenever you like.
Level 1 — full sentence starters and guidance.
Answer the question directly in one sentence. No quotation yet.
Keep it short. A phrase beats a whole sentence.

What ideas does the word carry beyond its literal meaning?
Effect on the reader, not on you personally.
Return to the question so the paragraph feels finished.
