In your answer you must have a clearstructure which uses relevant and appropriatesource material to answer this question well.
What is the question? Option evaluating questions will ask you to pick one of two options or choices and then give 3 detailed reasons why you made that choice. [3 x 2 = 6 marks] They will also ask you why you rejected the other option and to give 2 detailed reasons why you did. [2 x 2 = 4 marks]
You might get a question like the next one. There is a lot to do but be calm and think. Do not try it at the moment.
First of all ….. Do not be fooled by the question. You can look at all the information, compare the options and decide on one BUT
Just pick ONE You can just pick one of the choices or options and do it. Both will have enough information for your choice to be correct.
Just Pick One Party Candidate [2008] Kirsty Reid OR Robbie McKay

Linking Remember to link any sources to the information you are given. This information may be written, statistics or graphs. You can draw lines on your question paper between your highlighted bits and the correct information to help you do this.
Linking Kirsty Reid … I support the quarry it gives 150 jobs … Kirsty says …. which links to the info on Gleninch which says …. making her my choice.
How you should tackle this question. • Work on the ‘reasons to support’ first. • Work on the ‘reasons to reject’ second. • ‘Prove what you say’ with detailedinformation and statistics from the sources.
In detail • Each reason will be worth 2 marks. • You must give at least 2 different pieces of written information, statistics, information from a table, graph, map for each reason for a really good answer. • This is ‘in detail’. • Write each reason as a separate paragraph so the marker can easily mark what you have done. • 3 x 2 [support] = 6 marks • 2 x 2 [reject] = 4 marks • Overall 10 out of 10.
Remember just pick Kirsty. Look at each part of her speech in turn and work out if it is correct or wrong. First of all look at what Kirsty says about the Wind Farm.
