To be awarded the highest levels when comparing the utility and reliability of sources, you must analyse the sources and effectively compare their relative strengths and weaknesses. Comments on provenance must be specific, supported from the sources and linked explicitly to the question set. Simple statements and unsupported assertions regarding the utility of the sources or their reliability will receive very limited marks. Confusing utility for reliability will result in zero marks.
