    The question wants you to look at both sides of an argument; often using a statement as a stimulus. 
    To gain Level 3 marks you must balance both sides of the argument including evidence and explanation to support. Remember to include a conclusion in your final paragraph!
    E.g. 
    To what extent is there a relationship between the largest and deadliest earthquakes
    shown in Figure 1?

    Practice structuring these questions using the fabulous resource developed by MrsGeography on her blog.
