Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part three: Land, trade and war. The evidence should connect to Study land, including East India Company powers, Bombay, Hudson Bay, Tangier, Captain Henry Morgan and Jamaica and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

A common mistake is to write about East India Company as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1660-1685.
Anchor the answer to Part three: Land, trade and war, use precise evidence, and state whether East India Company is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
