A
Panel Sequence and Error Correction
In the dim light of dusk, the city skyline stretched across the horizon, casting long shadows over the deserted streets. Amidst the silence, a lone figure hurriedly navigated through alleyways, their footsteps echoing softly. Suddenly, a flash of movement caught their eye—an ominous figure lurking behind a broken wall. Their gasp was silent, yet their eyes widened with fear. As they turned a corner, the next panel depicted a serene park, bathed in golden sunset, with children playing happily. The transition was abrupt, ignoring the previous tension, and the narrative shifted from suspense to tranquility without warning.
1.
Identify at least two errors in the panel sequencing or narration in this excerpt.
[2 marks]2.

B
Error Identification and Technique Analysis
The panel shows a close-up of a character’s eyes, trembling with fear, with a dark alley reflected in the pupils. Beneath, a caption reads, 'The night held secrets darker than any they could imagine.' The sequence then shifts to a wide shot of the city, with no clear connection or transition. The abrupt change leaves the reader disoriented.
