Changed transfer and answer

A student discovers a second printed sheet repeating the same declaration in another collection. Does this now prove that the public accepted Henry's legitimacy?

Answer: no. A second copy provides evidence of additional survival and could help compare printing, wording and physical use. If its provenance is known, it might also inform circulation. It remains evidence of a message rather than agreement with it. Establishing reception would require independent evidence such as recorded responses, institutional compliance or opposition. Two copies do not constitute two independent eyewitness judgments when they reproduce the same official declaration.

Rationale: this changes the evidence problem from reading one document to assessing apparent corroboration. Repetition can increase our confidence about a text's production or transmission without independently verifying the truth of its political claims. Evaluate the relationship between sources before counting them as separate confirmations.

Feedback: the model uses actual content, purpose, medium, chronology and condition to reach a question-specific judgment. It avoids 'biased therefore useless', unsupported stories about damage and the equation of publication with persuasion. For later assessment development, supply complete and appropriately licensed extracts, verified wider context and independent marking; none is claimed here.

Worked example: Does a second surviving copy of the same declaration prove public acceptance of Henry’s legitimacy?

Why: Review the actual dated sources and their limits. Reading and these unmarked practice models do not establish mastery, a predicted grade, full route coverage or authenticated independent NEA.
