Clarification of assessment specifications for level 1 Drama achievement standard 90011

The assessment specifications for 90011 currently online say:

Question Two will address the second criterion of the achievement standard. Candidates will be required to reflect on drama processes they have seen used in live drama performance.

However, to allow candidates a wider range of opportunities, the examination allows them to reflect on drama processes they have seen and/or used in live drama performance. That is, they are asked to reflect on processes they have seen in live drama performance, and on drama processes they have used in live performance.
