Q2 in section 2 says nothing, other than offering some quasi-Nostrodamus prophecies about when and where future assasinations might have been. your dates and time scould equally have been Dallas ’63, Sarajevo ’14, etc.

The format is too elliptical, and doesn’t allow the reader to really engage with what you’re saying. It’s like you’re holding back from forming scenarios because of your doubts about the validity of the scenario format itself.

Jonesy’s stories were flawed as genuine future scenarios in ‘proper’ sense, but they were wonderfully evocative, which these exam papers aren’t.
