Answer

Chronology check: multi-racial society is significant when tied to Brixton Riots. is the best answer. It fits Part four: Equality and rights within BB Britain: Power and the people: c1170 to the present day and directly supports Study minority rights, including multi-racial society since the Second World War, discrimination, protest, reform, Brixton Riots and the Scarman Report. 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 multi-racial society 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 minority rights, including multi-racial society since the Second World War, discrimination, protest, reform, Brixton Riots and the Scarman Report. 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 multi-racial society

A common mistake is to write about multi-racial society as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1170 to the present day.

Anchor the answer to Part four: Equality and rights, use precise evidence, and state whether multi-racial society is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
