Q1. [1] medium thorough-understanding

Model Answer

When the majority community ignores minority rights and denies power-sharing, it creates alienation, escalating demands from autonomy to separatism, ultimately destroying national unity.

Explanation

The examiner wants you to link the cause (majoritarian policies denying power-sharing) to the effect (escalation to separatism and civil war). Key phrase to include: "alienation" — the textbook uses this word directly. Don't write a paragraph; one sharp causal sentence is enough for 1 mark.
