Answer 1

Answer:

I am writing regarding the case about Will Anthony’s stolen gardening tools. I believe that  

Matthew Farmer was the perpetrator of the crime of stealing Will Anthony’s gardening tools. The

most reliable piece of evidence leading me to believe that is Will Anthony’s diary, a primary  

source, which was made for Will Anthony to write down what was happening in his life. The  

diary states on February 10th that Matthew had told him that his family was having a hard time  

earning money and tending to their crops. Gardening tools were expensive back in their day and

many people would have to steal the tools because they couldn’t afford to buy them, like  

Matthew since he was having trouble with money. By stealing the tools, he could tend to his  

crops for things like food and other necessities.  

The least reliable piece of evidence/information in the case was the sales journal, a primary  

source, where all the store transactions were recorded by Matthew Farmer. We know that it was

written by Matthew Farmer, but it doesn’t give us any evidence pointing toward him or the other  

suspect.

Hope this helps ;)

Please mark me brainliest, I worked on this a hour for you. :( yw

Answer 2

On February 28th, 1755, there was a report from Will Anthony about his gardening tools, and that they were stolen from the blacksmith shop. With the leads that have been gathered, I have come to the conclusion that Matthew Farmer is the one responsible for this sudden disappearance. A very trustworthy source is Will’s journal, where he writes down things that have happened in his life. A few weeks earlier, Matthew told Will that his family was having a hard time with their crops. Gardening tools were pricey in old times, which would lead to many cases of theft. I have come to believe Matthew has stolen the tools for his own good.

A very untrustworthy source would be the newspaper. News Journalists don’t get there on time, therefore they will less likely have the full and accurate story.

Still, give the man above me a brainliest for his hard work.
