What is an inference?

A conclusion drawn from a source, proven by a detail

Why is a one-sided propaganda source still useful?

It is useful evidence of what its maker wanted people to think

Usefulness is how much a source helps answer a question; reliability is how trustworthy it is

A cause that explains the chain to the event, anchored to a fact

Long-term causes are underlying conditions; short-term causes are immediate triggers

A result the decision-makers did not want

With a degree, weighing change against continuity

They use different evidence, write at different times, and start from different assumptions

The line of argument the essay sets out to prove

It lacks balance and does not weigh the alternatives

Judging rather than describing, then proving the line with evidence
