What is reach an overall judgement?Show answer
A comparison question usually ends with a judgement: how similar are they, or how far do they agree. After your points, write one or two sentences saying whether the sources are mostly similar, mostly different, or a mix, and why. This shows you have weighed the points rather than just listed them.
What is evidence from one source only?Show answer
A comparison point needs a detail from both sources, not one.
