Question

What is one way that historians can establish the authenticity of a primary source?

Answer 1

Answer:  The correct answer is: Because some sources are more reliable than others and each one may be biased, historians read with distrust and check the sources against other evidence. Primary sources must be analyzed with critical thinking to obtain a very accurate historical record. The records that are created simultaneously with what happened in an event or as close as possible to it, are more reliable and more accurate than the records that are created long after, perhaps years, after the event occurred.

Answer 2

Comparing source from other established sources from that time period
