Section B: Fieldwork
Question
- A. Survey results from a local community
- B. Historical weather records
- C. Observations made during a field trip
- D. Interviews conducted with local residents
Answer
The correct answer is Historical weather records.
Explanation
The correct option is Historical weather records. Historical weather records is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to select appropriate physical and human data for a chosen enquiry. This belongs to Fieldwork within Section B: Fieldwork, 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 Fieldwork, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Data Selection Mistake
Students often select data that is not relevant to their geographical enquiry, leading to weak conclusions.
Ensure that the data chosen directly relates to the aims of the enquiry and supports the analysis.
