Answer:

Modern history queries the source for reliability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Modern history always evaluates the reliability of the source used, so historians are looking for ways through research to see if historical documents are reliable and give a true account of what really happened. In this way, modern history challenges previous stories, questions their accounts, their facts and their credibility through scientific research and technological equipment. For this reason, we can say that the modern study of history challenges previous stories by questioning whether their sources are reliable.
