Set 11 - A challenge

**DONT DO THIS - DO SYNTHESIS 3 INSTEAD**

Your challenge is to put everything you've learned into practice in one final exercise: construct a complex analysis map, evaluate it and write an essay based on your map.

You need more information to help you to do this: before starting the exercise you'll learn how to show basis box information, copremise structures and evaluations in essay prose.

(Note: set 12 will take longer than 15 minutes to complete.  The time taken will depend upon which of our three challenges you choose.)
