On a still summer afternoon, the narrator studies Isabella Tyson — a wealthy, elegant woman — through the reflection of a long hallway mirror. Her surroundings hint at refinement, mystery, and inner depth. But as she gradually comes into view, the narrator’s observations raise quiet, unsettling questions about how much we can truly know about another person.

– Section A: Q1–Q4 in full AQA exam format
– Section B: Q5 writing tasks
– Teacher Answers and indicative content for Q1–Q4
