Local traditions become more useful in history writing when what is done?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They are checked with evidence
Local traditions may preserve memories about places, people and events, but they can also change through retelling or include symbolic elements. Historians make them more reliable by comparing them with inscriptions, coins, archaeological remains, documents and chronology. Accepting them without examination creates error; removing evidence or dates makes historical reconstruction weaker.
