hello! :blush: I have a bit of problem concerning source questions and i thought of asking for some help. If i am given a question asking to compare 2 sources and say if they agree what do i actually do?!
i have already included if the agree or not...also i refered to both of them explaining how they disagree... what else should i mention?! :unsure:

Thanks, kitty...

Perhaps you could have a look at the other recent topic:

If this doesn't help, do post again for some more direct assistance.

By the sound of it you have pretty much done what is needed - in this type of question you need to reach a judgement about whether they agree or not so (as you have already done) you need to look at where they agree, show where they do not agree and then make your final judgement - for example "so overall the sources do agree on most key points (e.g. x, y and z, but disagree only on small points" or whatever.

Good luck and post again if you need more help
