Answer

Explanation

The correct option is Hawkins 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 English sailors, including Hawkins, Drake, circumnavigation from 1577 to 1580, voyages, trade and Raleigh's role. 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.

Avoid confusing Hawkins

A common mistake is to write about Hawkins as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in c1568-1603.

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