Answer
The articulation differences between these two segments are as follows:
In bars 1–8, there are two-note slurs on the first two beats, and a staccato on beat 3.
In contrast, bars 9–16 feature legato articulation with smoothly connected notes throughout.
One mark is awarded for identifying the difference between the phrases, and one mark for providing a correct articulation.
