Heya people. This is the format for History :D Thanks VJ for reminding me via sms. I keep forgetting/lazy to do!

Ok, you all gotta remember the format of answering the SBQ or whatever. ~

---
Reliability type of questions :
- Contextual Knowledge (what you have learnt in History lessons)
- Bias/Generalizations/Exaggerations
[Source of Text can be found on Page 139 of textbook]
Answer to the reliability of the source :
This source is unreliable. I can infer that the Emperor was a fair ruler, as seen from "his love of justice". However, the source goes on to state that the Emperor planned to "trick the King".
At the same time, there are exaggerating statements in the source. This can be seen from "a buffalo as big as an elephant".

(Note : Paragraphing your answers will somewhat show that you understand how to answer in a new paragraph when needed)

Text : The caste system was a fair one where everyone was given a specific occupation. Everyone was happy and there was no discrimination.

Answer to reliability :

This source is reliable as it states that within the caste system, "everyone was given a specific occupation". According to my contextual knowledge this is true as everyone knew their role in society.

However, this source is unreliable as it states "there was no discrimination". According to my contextual knowledge, this is not true as the Untouchables were looked down upon in society.
