Researchers combine evidence from two or more sources. Read these two about the Great Wall of China.
They agree: the wall was built to protect China. And only Source B tells about smoke signals from the watchtowers.
But they give different lengths! Read closely: Source A counts every branch. Source B counts only the main Ming wall. Both can be right.
Then write one sentence that combines both: its main section is about 5,500 miles, but all its branches add up to about 13,000.
