HISTORY

Hi guys, take note.
This is what Mr Hong wants everyone to know:
  1. Inference questions require about 2 inferences for a [4-5m] question.
  2. Reliability questions require analysis on:
- source content: eg. this source is reliable in showing this as it stated that "....." This means that _______________ (explain)
- cross-reference: eg. Source C says "...", Source A says "...". This means that _______________(explain). As Source A supports what Source C says, Source C is quite reliable in showing _________________.
- purpose: eg. Source C is a letter by Raffles to a superior. He is likely to put himself in a good light and make himself and what he intends to do sound good. This can be see from "....." This means that ______________. Therefore, Source C might be biased and likely to be
unreliable.
Reliability Questions should be [6m].

Thanks and all the best!
