- C. The clarity and relevance of the questions
- D. The length of the fieldwork report
Answer
The correct answer is The clarity and relevance of the questions.
Explanation
The correct option is The clarity and relevance of the questions. The clarity and relevance of the questions is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to undertake two geographical enquiries using primary data collected as part of fieldwork. 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
Confusing Primary and Secondary Data
Students often mix up primary data collected during fieldwork with secondary data obtained from other sources.
To fix this, remember that primary data is firsthand information gathered directly from the field, while secondary data is information that has already been collected and published by others.
