In your hurry you've forgotten to say please - please don't; everyone does so on this forum.

This is not a utility (usefulness) question.

It's a mixture of comparison of sources and reliability.
See this page for the basic rules of how to do thes sourcework questions, and (on 'comparison', this harder page)

As with ALL sourcework questions, answer it in three parts:

1. CONTENT - how the facts and ideas in Source F proves that Source E was incorrect.

2. PROVENANCE - how the author of Source F was so much better-placed to know the truth than the author of Source E.

3. CONCLUSION - weighing it up ... perhaps, in this case, casting some doubt about whether it's as clear cut that Source F is wrong as you might think???
