Explanation
The correct option is SALT 1 belongs in the chronology. This MCQ is about What fits the chronology of SALT 1, 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 easing of tension, including Soviet human-rights records, reasons for détente and SALT 1, and the roles of Brezhnev and Nixon. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A judgement with no supporting evidence.; 2) A point that confuses change with continuity.; 3) A description from a different route.. To decide between them, students should judge, prioritise, explain, substantiate the option against chronology, evidence and the learning objective, then keep evidence separate from opinion and interpretation.
