Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A historian writes a textbook designed to teach college students

about the duties of a professional historian.

Step-by-step explanation:

• This example best illustrates the interpretation. Each student historian must first become familiar with his or her duties and methodology to gain fundamental knowledge of the origin of the work of history.

• The example of the great economic depression and this way of interpretation is not complete. The historian concluded the effects of the Great Economic Depression but did not interpret the causes that led to the economic crash.

• On the other hand, no other examples are complete with what the historical methodology dictates when writing a scholarly work. For example, number two is incomplete because it is necessary to publish the results of your sources. It is always required to know the origin of the source.

• We can put the last example in the context of bias. For if his father served in the war, the historian could be emotional and subjective about specific historical issues, which may bring the truth of the past event to the fore.
