Select ALL the correct responses. The concept of "revealed by" includes which of the following?
The source defines?revealed by? as incorporating classified information from an authorized source into a new document when that information is not clearly or explicitly stated in the source. The full select-all choices are not available here, so we cannot identify every correct selection.
Why this answer
The stored key combines an authorized-source statement with ?No additional interpretation or analysis is needed.? CDSE assigns that second condition to ?contained in,? not ?revealed by.? A statement about an authorized source alone does not distinguish the two concepts. Use the source distinction below; do not treat the stored combination as a verified select-all key.
VERIFIED AGAINST THE OFFICIAL SOURCE
“The “contained in” concept applies when derivative classifiers incorporate classified information from an authorized source into a new document, and the classification of the information in the new product is clearly identifiable – there is no need for deduction. [...] This occurs in derivative documents when classified information from an authorized source is not explicitly stated, so it is not immediately obvious. However, through some level of deduction it clearly reveals classified information from the authorized source.”
