Which of the following is correctly paired year with event?

• A. Jarrow March — 1936
• B. Jarrow March — 1926
• C. BBC set up — 1937
• D. First Welsh BBC service — 1922

Answer: (A)

Dates of major events in interwar Britain help you place them on the timeline. The Jarrow March happened in 1936, when unemployed workers from Jarrow walked to London to protest the lack of jobs and relief during the Great Depression. That year is the well-established date for the march, so this pairing is correct.

The British Broadcasting Corporation was set up in 1922, not 1937, so that pairing isn’t accurate. And Welsh broadcasting was introduced after 1922 as the BBC expanded its services, so the idea that the first Welsh BBC service was in 1922 isn’t correct.
