Answer

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 John Hunter 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 2 Section A: Thematic studies and uses the same evidence base as Study dealing with disease, including traditional and new treatments, quackery, plague, hospital growth, training and status of surgeons and physicians, and John. 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.

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