Question

  1. A. Wales is supported by evidence from Part three: Edward I's....
  2. B. A statement that treats interpretation as a source.
  3. C. A vague point with no event or individual.
  4. D. A claim outside 1272-1307.

Answer

Wales is supported by evidence from Part three: Edward I's.... is correct. Interpretation check: Wales is supported by evidence from Part three: Edward I's. is the best answer. It fits Part three: Edward I's military campaigns in Wales and Scotland within BB Medieval England: the reign of Edward I, 1272-1307 and directly supports Study invasion and colonisation of Wales, including Edward's Welsh Wars in 1277 and 1282-1283, Statute of Rhuddlan, castle building, costs and consequences. Check this by using viewpoint, interpretation, source material, judgement, context, reliability; do not choose a distractor simply because it sounds historical.

Explanation

The correct option is Wales is supported by evidence from. This MCQ is about Which answer uses evidence about Wales, 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 invasion and colonisation of Wales, including Edward's Welsh Wars in 1277 and 1282-1283, Statute of Rhuddlan, castle building, costs and consequences. The rejected options are weaker: 1) A statement that treats interpretation as a source.; 2) A vague point with no event or individual.; 3) A claim outside 1272-1307.. To decide between them, students should compare, evaluate, qualify, infer the option against chronology, evidence and the learning objective, then keep evidence separate from opinion and interpretation.

Common mistake

Avoid confusing Wales

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

Anchor the answer to Part three: Edward I's military campaigns in Wales and Scotland, use precise evidence, and state whether Wales is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
