Question

  1. A. East India Company is significant when tied to Bombay.
  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: East India Company is significant when tied to Bombay. is the best answer. It fits Part three: Land, trade and war within BD Restoration England, 1660-1685 and directly supports Study land, including East India Company powers, Bombay, Hudson Bay, Tangier, Captain Henry Morgan and Jamaica. Check this by using sequence, turning point, period, before, after, continuity, change; do not choose a distractor simply because it sounds historical.

Explanation

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 land, including East India Company powers, Bombay, Hudson Bay, Tangier, Captain Henry Morgan and Jamaica. 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 East India Company

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.
