Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept: History/social-science content can be sequenced for teaching in several named ways. The Chronological approach organises and studies content strictly in the order of its time of occurrence, so an event's significance is understood in the context of the period in which it happened.
Application: The stem's criterion — significance tied to the time of occurrence, with content organised and studied in that order — is exactly the defining feature of the Chronological approach.
Spiral approach: the same theme is revisited at increasing levels of complexity across grade/class levels, not sequenced by when events occurred.
Integrated approach: content from multiple subjects/themes is combined around a common centre, not organised by time sequence.
Correlation approach: links and connections are drawn between concepts of different subjects, again without reference to chronological sequence.
Cross-check: Testing each option against the stem's own criterion (organisation by time of occurrence) leaves only one approach that satisfies it — the one that arranges content in the order events took place.
