Question

what does historical thinking help you do when reading current events? question, contextualize, and compare sources ignore past events so that you can stay neutral accept social media posts as truth focus only on emotional reactions

Explanation:

Historical thinking involves analyzing and understanding the past. When reading current events, it helps in questioning the information (to check its validity), contextualizing (relating it to past events and circumstances), and comparing sources (to get a more accurate picture). Ignoring past events (option 2) goes against historical thinking. Accepting social media posts as truth (option 3) is not a result of historical thinking as social media can have misinformation. Focusing only on emotional reactions (option 4) is also not related to historical thinking which is more about rational analysis.

Answer:

A. question, contextualize, and compare sources
