Answer 1

Benjamin should rethink using a movie clip of a war scene and interviewing his neighbor's great uncle for his World War I presentation because these sources may not provide accurate information or may glamorize the war. Movie clips often sensationalize war scenes and do not always accurately depict historical events. Additionally, the great uncle's perspective may be biased or unreliable, as personal accounts can sometimes be unreliable sources of information. To replace these sources, Benjamin should consider using primary sources such as letters, photographs, or official documents from the time period to provide a more authentic and unbiased perspective on World War I.
