History as a Study

Question 9 • FL-2109010-M/J World History A

Why is it important for historians to use good quality sources?

Answer
A
Relevant sources can be used to investigate a wide variety of historical subjects.
B
Relevant sources provide support for topics that are unconnected to the historical subject.
C
Credible sources lead to accurate interpretations of historical subjects because they are trustworthy.
D
Credible sources lead to better interpretations of historical subjects because they cannot be contradicted.

Explanation

Historians need good quality sources because trustworthy evidence helps them form accurate interpretations of the past. Choice C captures this: credible sources support accurate interpretations because they are trustworthy. Credible sources can still be questioned or contradicted, so D is not correct.
