Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.

A common measure can aid comparison and administration, while compulsory work can impose unequal burdens. Both can be part of the same system; identify whose perspective each record preserves. The revision should repair a particular reasoning, evidence or language problem rather than only replace a word. A defensible alternative is acceptable when it explains the same evidence and its limits.

• Answer the specific question accurately.
• Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
• Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
• Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.

Athenian direct participation applied to a restricted citizen body. It did not include every resident, so the term democracy needs an explanation of membership. Excluded women, enslaved people and resident foreigners could be affected by decisions without sharing the same political role. Rome illustrates a different distinction. Republican institutions at the center could coexist with conquest and rule over other peoples. Republic and empire are therefore not simple opposites in every use of the terms. A statement about central offices does not by itself describe conditions in a conquered territory. Qin standardization could make communication and administration easier while extending state control and compulsory demands. Evaluating a policy requires asking which people gained a benefit or bore a cost. The comparison does not show all three societies were identical; it shows why matched questions about participation, authority and labor produce a more precise account than a single approving label.

• Answer the assignment with a focused and accurate claim.
• Use two or more located details from the complete assigned sources.
• Explain relationships rather than listing details.
• Address a relevant alternative, scope limit or counterclaim.
• Revise meaning, organization and source credit before final editing.
