If you get this question or something similar you have to adopt a very sophisticated approach as there is only a method to answer this question. I will demonstrate the approach taken in different steps.
But in all seriousness talk about the themes that have been explored due to the context. Like a text set during cold war America talk about the theme of patriotism (supporting capitalism the states is great etc)and stuff. Not sure how right this is but yeah
- You look at the question for 3mins
- Then you spend another 5 mins reading it loud (it may help you realise the answer for some reason) in the examination room and during this if someone tells you to stop and they warn you by threatening to give a 0. You immediately stop as you obviously do not want a 0 so you may or may not be able to read it for 5mins
- If you were interrupted in the previous step then make sure to cry loudly and if you were not interuptted then you should cry even louder as this may evoke an emotional response within the examination supervisor and they might help you out
- If that doesnt work you close ur eyes and sleep or pray.

this is remarkable advice that fourth step really resonated with me
its for Module B
are you serious,
hsc exam is tomorrow and im sure yours is too. Can you keep all the jokes for another time, like after hsc or something.
thanx
They likely won't ask about context unless it is something specifically for your text for mod b but that wouldn't be fair

why isn't it likely
2019 paper asked something specific for each text in mod b, could happen this year too
not about context as it is insignificant in most texts

who knows, I know context in mod A is really important
could be insignificant but I guess it's better to be prepared for it to come in any module just in case

What texts are you doing? Split into the key themes you studied then just spend a large proportion of your paragraph taking about context of the text and linking it to your idea eg: moral decay - - - > WW2

Yeah I am serious what do you mean keep jokes for other side. This is my serious advice and that is what I will do in the exam tomorrow. So please do not insult my genuine valuable advice by calling it some sort of a joke. I am extremely offended and would like a sincere apology from you. People these days do not appereciate the quality of proper advice and take everything for granted. Back in my days for such valuable and important advice people were ready to pay big bucks.
Keep calm, and have faith in eco, science and maths
This is pretty much the Module A equivalent of today’s common module question
