- B. A summary of findings from a geographical study
- C. A list of geographical terms and definitions
- D. A collection of maps and diagrams
Answer
The correct answer is A series of steps taken to investigate a geographical question.
Explanation
The correct option is A series of steps taken to investigate a geographical question. A series of steps taken to investigate a geographical question is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to identify questions and sequences of enquiry. This belongs to Formulate enquiry and argument within Formulate enquiry and argument, 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 Formulate enquiry and argument, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misidentifying the initial enquiry question
Students often write a broad statement such as “What causes flooding?” instead of a focused, researchable question that can be answered through a clear sequence of enquiry.
Encourage students to formulate a specific, answerable question that includes a defined geographical context and a measurable outcome, e.g. “How does the slope of the River Thames influence the frequency of flash floods in the surrounding urban area?”
