Overall assessment

The response is strongest in its clear, well-organised coverage of both questions, supported by concrete examples such as the UN statistics and South African legislation. The main limitation is a handful of recurring grammatical slips and some slightly informal or imprecise phrasing that occasionally reduce polish, though meaning stays clear throughout.

TR

Both questions are fully addressed with a clear position, well-developed main ideas, and relevant supporting examples including the UN statistic, the tortoise case, and South African legislation.
