C. it would would show the way an event appeared without bias.

Answer from: sksksjs

I would say C, "It would show the way an event appeared without bias," because videos (unless they're edited or otherwise altered to reflect the filmmaker's point of view, in which case they're less of a video recording and more of a movie) give us a look at exactly what happened for ourselves as if we were there instead of hearing an account from someone else.

Just to quickly eliminate the others as well...
A is wrong because a video is objective and doesn't offer any perspectives itself, just the truth. B is wrong because while a video might be vetted by experts, that's not something that would make it uniquely useful. All historical sources and artifacts are vetted by experts for authenticity, but that doesn't have any impact on or connection to how useful they are. And even if it did, that wouldn't be something that was specific video, which is what the question is asking. And D is wrong because video recordings cannot show what people are thinking about an event -- they only show the event occurring.

pizarro staged a mock trial and found atahualpa guilty of revolting against the spanish, practicing idolatry, and murdering huáscar, his brother. atahualpa was sentenced to execution by burning. he was horrified, since the inca believed that the soul would not be able to go on to the afterlife if the body were burned.

when christopher columbus arrived on the bahamian island of guanahani (san salvador) in 1492, he encountered the taíno people, whom he described in letters as "naked as the day they were born." taíno influences survived, however, and today appear in the beliefs, religions, language, and music of caribbean cultures.

ad 1492: taíno meet columbus; “new world” gets new diseases. in the bahamas, the taíno are 125,000 strong in 1492 when they encounter the crew and the italian captain of three spanish ships. christopher columbus seeks a shorter sea route to india to spain get a foothold in the profitable spice trade.
