Question

  1. A. NATO is significant when tied to Warsaw Pact.
  2. B. A broad opinion without context.
  3. C. A consequence described as a cause.
  4. D. An interpretation treated as factual evidence.

Answer

Chronology check: NATO is significant when tied to Warsaw Pact. is the best answer. It fits Part two: The development of the Cold War within BC Conflict and tension between East and West, 1945-1972 and directly supports Study military rivalries, including the arms race, NATO, Warsaw Pact and the space race including Sputnik, ICBMs, Polaris, Gagarin and Apollo. 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 NATO is significant when tied to. 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 military rivalries, including the arms race, NATO, Warsaw Pact and the space race including Sputnik, ICBMs, Polaris, Gagarin and Apollo. 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 NATO

A common mistake is to write about NATO as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1945-1972.

Anchor the answer to Part two: The development of the Cold War, use precise evidence, and state whether NATO is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
