Explanation

The correct option is inoculation should be explained before judging. This MCQ is about Which option separates cause and consequence, 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 prevention of disease, including inoculation, Edward Jenner, vaccination and opposition to change. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A source comment with no provenance.; 2) A long-term cause treated as a result.; 3) A similarity presented as a difference.. To decide between them, students should identify, support, test, reject 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 inoculation is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
