Answer:

a) Events happening at the same time might have influenced one

another.

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding and evaluating eyewitness accounts is facilitated by this. Events are more easily understood when placed in their right historical context, which allows us to get insight into the state of the world at the time and how it may have influenced eyewitness accounts.
