Model Answer

Frédéric Sorrieu, a French artist, in 1848 visualised a world made up of democratic and social Republics. His dream depicted peoples of Europe and America — of all ages and classes — marching and offering homage to the statue of Liberty. In his utopian vision, peoples were grouped as distinct nations identified by their flags and national costumes.

Explanation

The examiner expects you to mention: (1) who Sorrieu was, (2) what his dream was — democratic and social republics, and (3) how it was depicted (peoples marching, statue of Liberty, distinct nations). The word "utopian" is a key term here. Keep it to 2–3 sentences for 2 marks.
