How many years after the BBC founding did the first Welsh service start?

• A. 11 years
• B. 5 years
• C. 7 years
• D. 15 years

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how the BBC expanded to regional, Welsh-language broadcasting after its founding. The BBC began in the early 1920s, and the first Welsh-language radio service was established a little over a decade later, in the early 1930s. That timing fits the historical pattern of the BBC moving from national programming to regional, language-specific services as it grew. So the interval described by the correct choice aligns with this known sequence. The other options would place the Welsh service either too soon after the founding or much later than when it actually started, which doesn’t match the historical timeline.
