What is keep reasons distinct?Show answer
Two reasons that make the same point in different words count as one. Before writing, plan a spread of distinct factors, for example political, economic, social and individual causes, so each reason adds something new. A 6 mark answer built from six genuinely different developed reasons is safer than one that circles the same idea.
