Question

  1. A. legal is significant when tied to study.
  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: legal is significant when tied to study. is the best answer. It fits Part two: Life in Medieval England within BB Medieval England: the reign of Edward I, 1272-1307 and directly supports Study development of the legal system, including laws, courts, trials, crimes, criminals, punishments and Statutes of Gloucester 1278 and Winchester 1285. 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 legal is significant when tied to. 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 development of the legal system, including laws, courts, trials, crimes, criminals, punishments and Statutes of Gloucester 1278 and Winchester 1285. 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 legal

A common mistake is to write about legal as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1272-1307.

Anchor the answer to Part two: Life in Medieval England, use precise evidence, and state whether legal is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
