    • A statement that the question is impossible to answer

    • A point on the other side that you weigh against your own view
    • A repeated copy of the question, written again at the start of the answer to show the argument clearly
    • A fact that is always wrong

  6. Which of these is a benefit of globalisation?

    • Lower prices from global supply chains
    • Lost factory jobs in UK towns
    • Profits flowing back to headquarters
    • Higher carbon emissions from shipping

  7. Which of these is a cost of globalisation?

    • Cheaper clothes in shops
    • Shared technology between countries
    • Growth in low-income countries
    • Low wages in some factories

  8. China's HDI rose from about 0.48 in 1990 to about 0.79. Which is the best use of this figure as evidence?

    • It is only useful if it is written in a diagram
    • It proves that every country in the world became richer
    • It shows a named place and a number that prove a point about growth
    • It is an opinion, so it cannot count as evidence

  9. Why is a named place stronger evidence than 'some countries'?

    • It is longer, so it takes up more space on the page
    • It contains no numbers, which makes it easier to read
    • It is always more recent than any other example, so it reflects the newest data available today at all
    • It is specific and can be checked, which makes the argument convincing

  10. Which of these is an argument in favour of globalisation?

    • Fairtrade gives some farmers a guaranteed minimum price
    • TNC profits often flow back to headquarters
    • Container shipping adds to global carbon emissions

  11. Which of these is an argument against globalisation?

    • Some UK textile towns lost thousands of jobs
    • Smartphones and clothes are cheaper
    • China lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty
    • Fairtrade gives a guaranteed price

  12. In a PEEL paragraph, what does the Explain step do?

    • Repeats the evidence word for word
    • Says WHY the evidence supports the point
    • Lists unrelated facts about other countries
    • Gives a final grade for the answer

  13. In a PEEL paragraph, what does the Link step do?

    • Opens the paragraph with a joke
    • Adds a new, unrelated piece of evidence
    • Lists the authors of the sources used
    • Ties the paragraph back to the question

  14. Which statement about evaluation is correct?

    • Evaluation means listing as many facts as possible without a view
    • Evaluation only applies to diagrams, not to written answers
    • Evaluation weighs evidence on both sides before deciding
    • Evaluation ignores evidence and relies on feelings

  15. Which sentence shows a weighed judgement?

    • Globalisation is bad because I do not like trade, and I feel that most people would agree with me
    • Globalisation is good and that is all there is to say
    • On balance, globalisation is a force for good, although the gains are uneven
    • Globalisation is a topic that appears in the unit

  16. Which best describes a one-sided answer?

    • It uses a place and a number for each point
    • It lists both benefits and costs, then gives a judgement
    • It includes a counter-argument before its final decision
    • It lists only benefits, with no costs and no judgement

  17. What does China's HDI rise show about globalisation?

    • It is linked to better health, education and income
    • It shows that all HDI scores are exactly the same

    • Free education for every child in the country
    • Cheaper imports for local shoppers

  19. Which is the strongest final judgement on whether globalisation is a force for good?

    • On balance, globalisation is a force for good for many, but its gains are uneven and it needs fairer rules
    • Globalisation is a force for good with no costs at all
    • It is impossible to say anything about globalisation
    • Globalisation is a force for harm and should be ended at once, since its costs always outweigh any gain it brought

  20. Which is a limitation of GDP per person when judging who has won from globalisation?

    • It measures the number of schools in each country, counted for every district in the national census
    • It is an average, so it can hide unequal shares of wealth within a country
    • It is always the same in every country each year
    • It counts only the income of the government
