Section A: Issue evaluation
Question
- A. To provide evidence for the chosen solution
- B. To outline the history of the geographical issue
- C. To compare different geographical locations
- D. To summarize the geographical data collected
Answer
The correct answer is To provide evidence for the chosen solution.
Explanation
The correct option is To provide evidence for the chosen solution. To provide evidence for the chosen solution is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to justify a decision about a geographical issue. This belongs to Issue evaluation within Section A: Issue evaluation, 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 Issue evaluation, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Justification
Students often provide opinions without supporting evidence when justifying a decision about a geographical issue.
To fix this, students should include specific data or examples from secondary sources to support their justification.
