koreanlit1-10, Exercise 3: Lost, disputed, contradicted or hedged

Model answer (a sample; yours will differ):

1. Dates: the Samguk sagi is 1145 (infobox 1146) and the Samguk yusa "around 1280", against 1146 and 1285 in Korean Literature 1's source (Korean Literature 2). Habit: show the conflict, name each article, and do not harmonise.
2. Authorship: the author of Hong Gildong "remains an open question" (Korean Literature 5). Habit: treat attributions as claims; say what each rests on.
3. Counts: Gwangju has "no universally accepted death toll"; the government says 165, scholarly estimates range from 600 to 2,300 (Korean Literature 8). Habit: show who gives which figure.
4. Survival: only 25 hyangga survive, and the same hyangga can be read as ten lines or six (Korean Literature 2); only a handful of Hwang Jini's sijo exist and many stories about her are uncited (Korean Literature 4). Habit: separate what survives from what is described.

Also: the Shin Kyung-sook prize year (2011 or 2012, Korean Literature 9) and The Old Garden's date (2000 or 2009, Korean Literature 8).
