Question
- A. The introduction of the Euro
- B. The creation of the UK’s National Health Service
- C. The establishment of the London Stock Exchange
- D. The implementation of the UK’s Industrial Strategy
Answer
The correct answer is The implementation of the UK’s Industrial Strategy.
Explanation
The correct option is The implementation of the UK’s Industrial Strategy. The implementation of the UK’s Industrial Strategy is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain causes of economic change in the UK including de-industrialisation, decline of traditional industry, globalisation and government policies. This belongs to The changing economic world within Section B: The changing economic world, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from The changing economic world, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding De-industrialisation
Students often confuse de-industrialisation with globalisation, thinking they are the same process.
Clarify that de-industrialisation refers specifically to the decline of traditional industries in the UK, while globalisation involves the increasing interconnectedness of economies worldwide.
