Utility of sources

The single most successful way to lift your answers to questions on the utility of sources to the highest level is to use the provenance to explain the content of the source rather than just writing about provenance, content and context as separate entities. Doing this demonstrates higherorder skills and enables you to discuss properly how useful sources are for a particular enquir y.
