Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.55 Multiple Perspectives skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A class compares two sources about the first bridge across Pine Creek. Source A, an old local history book: "The bridge was built by one family working alone." Source B, a newly found payment list: "The list names many workers who were paid to help build the bridge." Which statement helps explain the disagreement between Source A and Source B about the first bridge across Pine Creek?

AThe writers were in different places, so each saw different parts of the same event.

BThe writers had different roles, so each noticed different details about what was happening.

CThe sources were created at different times, so the situation could look different earlier and later.

DOne source used memory, limited information, or older records, while the other used stronger or newer evidence.

Solution & Explanation:The disagreement is best explained by the evidence behind each source. Memories, old labels, or incomplete records can be less accurate than stronger or newer evidence.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Read the two sources about the old school bell. Source A, a textbook paragraph: "The bell was hung in 1835." Source B, an archive label updated after new records were found: "The newest records place the bell in the tower in 1837." Why might historians expect these sources to disagree about the old school bell?

AThe sources had different purposes or audiences, so one source may have tried to persuade, celebrate, or advertise, while the other tried to describe what happened.

BThe writers were in different places, so each saw different parts of the same event.

COne source used memory, limited information, or older records, while the other used stronger or newer evidence.

AThe sources were created at different times, so the situation could look different earlier and later.
