What worked – very well – clear comments on where you’d sourced the draft answers from and your thinking on how you’d selected some of the draft answers was extremely helpful! I could tell you’d really thought about the inputs for the answers and what might work – I generally find your side explanatory comments in your drafts very helpful, your comments in this one were particularly good and insightful!
