b.)They propose the meaning of evidence

d.)They assess the reliability of evidence

Historians analyze and compare pieces of evidence to determine the meaning and create a historical story. As evidence emerges, historians will use content knowledge and context from a period to determine the meaning of the evidence. By comparing the evidence to other pieces of evidence from the time or similar source information, the historian can determine if it is a reliable piece of evidence.
