  Does anyone know the format for:

  Do the sources agree that .........?

  Comparison on SIMILARITY.

  You have to answer in:

  Both sources agree that....

  Both sources disagree that....

   

  DO NOT, do not, ever answer in any other way even if they seem the same. O level markers are very precise in assertions.

  Both sources are similar....

  Both sources are different.... (These 2 are 'wrong' examples)

  what if it's a multiple source question. for example sources A to F. Do the same format still apply?

  Do the sources agree that... ? --- is a qualitative question. It falls under the "How far do the sources agree"... category, and NOT "How do the sources agree"... category. This means that you have to find where the similarities are and explain. Also, you have to find out where they are different. It's like, "Does Girl A and Girl B look the same?" Your answer should go something like, "They look similar because they have the same eyes. However, A has long hair while B has short hair. Therefore they are limited in similarity." Don't know if this is correct. My Social Studies last time F9 one. But O Level A1 =D
