The student clearly stated an appropriate and specific question for the historical investigation, focusing on the significant relationship between the Chernobyl disaster and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The student provided a detailed analysis of the values and limitations of the origins and content of the sources, but fell short in analyzing the purpose behind the sources comprehensively.
