- Tone
- The writer's or speaker's attitude conveyed through word choice and structure, such as humorous, critical, or persuasive; recognising it supports inference.

- Mark allocation strategy
- The number of marks per question signals the depth required; more marks require fuller answers with supporting detail from the text.
