Can I repeat myself in GCSE English Literature

Okay so I do Eduqas for English lit and I have a question. In the poetry section where you have to write about the single poem and then the next question is the comparison, can I just repeat everything I wrote in my single poem response in my comparison? I presume you can as I think that each question is marked by a different examiner but I want to like double check.

i was taught not to, i was taught to talk about the poem for the first like general themes and stuff in it e.g. nature and for the compatison to find a similar theme so you could probably do it but maybe not. sorry im not being that usefull.

Hey I copied what I said almost word for word and got a 9 in my mock . Theyre only checking for your comparison and don't care if you repeat yourself- the q is there to get you ideas going. Don't worry because each q is marked by a different examiner anyway.
