1.
Giving evidence (when answering source questions) is crucially important… Below is an exercise to help you to know how to incorporate evidence in your answers.
Look at the following question and then put the possible answers in order of worst to best:
POSSIBLE ANSWERS
SOLUTION
A
This is a poor answer as it provides no evidence to back-up the statement.
E
This answer gives evidence, but the quote could be much shorter.
B
This answer gives evidence, but the quote does not “make sense” in the sentence, as it has just been added to the end of the statement.
C
This answer is good. It gives evidence, added to the end of the statement, but the way it is added is acceptable because the evidence is given in brackets.
E
This answer is the best. It gives evidence, in the form of a short quote, that forms part of the sentence. Therefore, it makes perfect sense.
2.
Let’s now work on another Paper 2 exam question on the Collapse of International Peace:
Question 2
3.
