Explanation
Why this works
The safest route is to define the target idea, then apply it to the wording of the question. The answer is correct because it uses statistical reasoning and interpretation and keeps the focus on Explain Duck's phase model of relationship breakdown..
Psychological reasoning: the response should name the mechanism or method, show how it operates, and use terms such as Explain, Duck, phase, model, relationship, breakdown, Explain, how, duck, helps, psychologists, address. Evidence link: Duck's relationship breakdown model can be used to support the point, but the answer should explain what the evidence demonstrates rather than simply naming it.
Evaluation: add a judgement about methodological control, ecological validity, population validity, ethics, determinism, reductionism, cultural bias or real-world application when that is relevant to the question. Exam relevance: the final sentence should make the answer explicit, so the examiner can see why the chosen point addresses the command word and not just the general topic.
Common mistake: avoid generic phrases such as "this is important"; explain the causal process, evidence quality or limitation in precise Psychology language.
