AN EXAMPLE FROM THIS CHAPTER

Account A: At the fictional school fair, I helped arrange the art table before visitors arrived. Account B: The art table was ready when the fair opened, and visitors soon gathered around it.

What fact do both accounts support?

Show answer & explanation

The art table was ready by the fair’s opening.

Both accounts place a ready art table at the opening; neither gives the writer’s identity, universal purchases or a time.
