Answer
Chronology check: Angevin Empire is significant when tied to Henry II. is the best answer. It fits Part one: Conquered and conquerors within AC Britain: Migration, empires and the people: c790 to the present day and directly supports Study a Norman Kingdom and Angevin Empire, including England-France relationships, Henry II, invasion of Ireland and losses under King John. 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 Angevin Empire 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 a Norman Kingdom and Angevin Empire, including England-France relationships, Henry II, invasion of Ireland and losses under King 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.

Avoid confusing Angevin Empire
A common mistake is to write about Angevin Empire as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c790 to the present day.
Anchor the answer to Part one: Conquered and conquerors, use precise evidence, and state whether Angevin Empire is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
