Question

He publishes his translation is happy to discover that other historians around the world have statues analyzing it in their own work. Which of the following, if true, would suggest that the historians work is not a strong pice of historical evidence?

Answer 1

the correct answer is= The historian intentionally chose not to translate certain parts of the document.

Answer 2

The one that would suggest that the historians work is not a strong piece of historical evidence is :
The historian guessed at much of document's text, as it had been badly burned

if the historian guessed much of document's text, it would be more likely that the end result would be biased because it would be mixed with the historian's personal knowledge and perception

hope this helps
