What's the logic for being surprised?

We are surprised when it does not support

our expectations

We are not surprised when it does support

So which method considers more things to set our expectations??

Only provenance

Only one source

What we know already

Can we be surprsied / not surprsied by the purpose?

Yes you can. Higher level for most cases as it considers more things.

(2)

or cross ref Source B with Source A

From the qns, we already know they don't support each other, but we are not sure if one of them is

wrong. So it's asking you to do more checks! Cross reference with other sources!

Acceptable answers for this source-based case study

Source A is wrong - Cross ref with Source C- Purpose (bias to achieve purpose of getting Tamils to be on the Sri Lankan government's side)

Can we prove Source B wrong?Source B has no purpose (from independent group. Not affiliated/bias to any sides)So cannot prove Source B wrong via purpose.

No other sources to cross reference to show that Source B is wrong either.

Examiners

See! you must use your brains to

Think!

Source E does not proves what UN claims in Source D is true. In Source D, the UN claims that the "Tamil Tigers recruit child soldiers from relief camp after December's Tsunami". However, Source E shows that a child soldier recruited BEFORE the tsunami in Nov 2004. This means that although Source E shows that Tamil Tigers recruit child soldiers, they did not show that it was done after the tsunami, as it was claimed in Source D. Therefore, Source E is unable to prove if the UN's claims in Source D is true.

Let's try it on Source C. Continue to answer the following question on your answer sheet:
