The video tutorial explains how to approach question three by analyzing sources B, C, and D. It emphasizes identifying parts of the sources that support or contradict a given statement about the dangers of blood transfusions before 1909. The tutorial provides a detailed analysis of each source, highlighting key points and contradictions, and concludes with guidance on structuring the answer to reflect the extent of support from the sources.

What is the primary focus when answering question three?

• They are probably rare

• They are very common
