In that case, you will need to make some investigative conclusions based on the evidence at hand that you have collected including verification with multiple sources in some instances. Be skeptical; not every statement a person makes can be trusted. Your answer to each question should include the following:
a. The source(s) of the information.
b. The information from the source that you are using.
c. The reasoning behind your conclusions. A simple reiteration of a source is not sufficient. We want to be able to understand your reasoning. This reasoning is especially important if you are using multiple sources and need to reason out a conclusion.
d. Your final conclusions.
