Question

  1. A. Harrying of the North is significant when tied to William II.
  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: Harrying of the North is significant when tied to William II. is the best answer. It fits Part one: The Normans: conquest and control within BA Norman England, c1066-c1100 and directly supports Study establishing and maintaining control, including the Harrying of the North, revolts from 1067 to 1075, William's leadership and government, William II. Check this by using sequence, turning point, period, before, after, continuity, change; do not choose a distractor simply because it sounds historical.

Explanation

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 B: British depth studies including the historic environment and uses the same evidence base as Study establishing and maintaining control, including the Harrying of the North, revolts from 1067 to 1075, William's leadership and government, William II. 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 Harrying of the North

A common mistake is to write about Harrying of the North as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1066-c1100.

Anchor the answer to Part one: The Normans: conquest and control, use precise evidence, and state whether Harrying of the North is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
