revolution and the reign of terror and hear the potential
- 00:38
in Okay well this one's pretty straight forward All we
- 00:41
have to do is figure out which of these sources
- 00:43
is the most legit and we need to cross out
- 00:45
choice a fast before any of our college professors catch
- 00:48
us even considering it Wikipedia and they have good intentions
- 00:52
but we never know if the article were reading is
- 00:53
written by a super genius are a troll We apologize
- 00:57

- 01:40
Choice b manages to top option c rather than one
- 01:44
little article choice Be breaks out a whole book which
- 01:46
has a lot of room for more detailed information while
- 01:50
more information than just one measly article He also specifies
- 01:54
that the book is written by an expert on the
- 01:56
french revolution and the reign of terror So we know
- 01:59
this book is going to be about as accurate as
- 02:01
possible So even though choice see is decent we're gonna
- 02:04
have to put it on the chopping block Or should 00:02:06.758 --> [endTime] we say guillotine oh your head over
