| 54. | One source builds on another | shows development across sources |
| 55. | Overall, the sources show | summarizes combined evidence |
| 56. | Put differently, | restates in another way |
| 57. | Read together, the texts | invites cross-source reading |
| 58. | Significantly, | signals importance |
| 59. | Similarly, | shows likeness between sources |
| 60. | Source A and Source B both | compares two sources directly |
| 61. | Specifically, | adds exact detail |
| 62. | Taken as a whole, | summarizes the full set |
