Answer

Explanation

The correct option is Roger Bacon 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 B: British depth studies including the historic environment and uses the same evidence base as Study education and learning, including the medieval Church, universities, Roger Bacon and Duns Scotus. 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.
