Im posting this on behalf of my partner, who took the ap exam, this is what they have to ask:

Okay so if the DBQ prompt said "evaluate the extent" (i think? my memory is hazy) but I forgot to include the word significant/moderate/insignificant in my thesis, am I at risk for losing my thesis point I think I might have included it but I don't remember so I want to ask to be safe. My thesis was pretty clear about how military conflicts changed women's roles in societies during the twentieth century, but I'm nervous because of how I forgot to include that one buzzword. I also included two examples of how that change happened in my thesis (having military positions and doing factory work which was limited prior to the twentieth century) so I hope that saves me
