Eyewitnesses often have different accounts of events, so historians must

Because eyewitnesses may remember or describe the same event differently, historians compare and evaluate their accounts, considering each source’s evidence and perspective. This helps them build the most reliable understanding of what happened. They should not automatically believe every account or dismiss eyewitnesses altogether, and they need not assume only one account contains any truth. The correct choice is “evaluate each account to discover the truth.”
