Answer
Chronology check: Triple Alliance is significant when tied to Entente. is the best answer. It fits Part one: The causes of the First World War within BA Conflict and tension: the First World War, 1894-1918 and directly supports Study the Alliance System, including the Triple Alliance, Franco-Russian Alliance, Entente relations, Moroccan crises and Balkan crises and their effects on international. Check this by using sequence, turning point, period, before, after, continuity, change; do not choose a distractor simply because it sounds historical.
Explanation
The correct option is Triple Alliance is significant when tied. This MCQ is about Which judgement is best supported, not just general recall. The correct option works because it matches the period context of Paper 1 Section B: Wider world depth studies and uses the same evidence base as Study the Alliance System, including the Triple Alliance, Franco-Russian Alliance, Entente relations, Moroccan crises and Balkan crises and their effects on international. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A broad opinion without context.; 2) A consequence described as a cause.; 3) An interpretation treated as factual evidence.. To decide between them, students should place, order, connect, contrast the option against chronology, evidence and the learning objective, then keep evidence separate from opinion and interpretation.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing Triple Alliance
A common mistake is to write about Triple Alliance as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1894-1918.
Anchor the answer to Part one: The causes of the First World War, use precise evidence, and state whether Triple Alliance is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
