Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following best describes the role of a trade union in a business?

  1. To recruit new employees on behalf of the human resources department
  2. To represent and protect the interests of its worker members
  3. To manage the day-to-day operations of the business
  4. To set the wage rates that all businesses must legally pay workers
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — To represent and protect the interests of its worker members
Trade unions represent and protect their worker members by collectively bargaining for better pay, conditions, and job security. Setting legally binding wage rates is the role of government legislation, not trade unions. Recruitment is an HR function. Day-to-day operations are managed by line managers and directors.

OCR GCSE Business Studies: People in Business FAQ

Is Kramizo free for OCR GCSE students preparing for Business Studies?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix People in Business practice with other Business Studies topics or even switch to a totally different OCR subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the People in Business questions aligned to the official OCR GCSE Business Studies syllabus?
Every question is written against the published OCR GCSE Business Studies specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real OCR paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from OCR.
How is People in Business typically tested on OCR GCSE Business Studies papers?
People in Business appears across multiple question types on real OCR GCSE Business Studies papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
