Suppose the first source argues that Nazi control rested mainly on terror, and the second is a report on the popularity of regime policies. A top-band answer first states the interpretation: control rested chiefly on coercion. It then tests the second source against it, noting that evidence of genuine enthusiasm for certain policies qualifies the "mainly terror" view, while passages hinting at fear of denunciation support it.
