Would anyone be interested in marking my history exam question (short)?

I've got my GCSE History exam on Britain tomorrow and I just wanted to know what I would get for an answer like this. This is question 1 using source A for 6 marks. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me what they think I would get. Here is a link to the paper:

One thing we can infer from source A is that evacuation had been planned beforehand. Evidence of this is 'Plans for the evacuation of mothers and children from danger areas to safe reception areas had been made long before the war'. This evidence supports my inference because it shows that the evacuation had been prepared should war be declared.
Another inference we can make is that the Nazi's bombed cities that the government did not predict would be bombed. Evidence supporting this is 'cities such as Plymouth, Swansea and Bristol were bombed but had not been selected as areas at risk'. This shows that the government had not anticipated these cities being bombed as they 'had not been selected as areas at risk'.

Heya, I'm going to put this in the History forum for you as you should get more responses there. :smile:

It might good to also talk about the numbers of children being evacuated, too. :smile:

You should also check out the forum to see if there's any other threads there which might be helpful to you! http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=141
