koreanlit1-1, Exercise 3: Record and legend

Model answer (a sample; yours may pick other claims):

1. Samguk sagi (1146) and Samguk yusa (1285). Rests on dates; the sentence carries a "citation needed" tag. Check: a history of the works or a library edition's introduction.
2. Only 25 hyangga survive (14 in the Samguk yusa, 11 in the Gyunyeojeon). Rests on a count given by the article. Check: a scholarly source that lists the hyangga, and compare counts.
3. Kumo sinhwa as the "first known" classical Korean fiction. Rests on a hedged "first known". Check: a literary history, and how it dates other early tales.

Habits: separate what survives from what is described; treat "first" as a claim; say whether a date, count or attribution is tagged.
