Korean Political History I: Chapter 4, Exercise 2 — Possible Solution
======================================================================

TASK
"About 3 million people died in the Korean War." Identify what is imprecise
and rewrite.

WHAT IS IMPRECISE
- 3 million is the upper end of the civilian range (1.6 to 3 million), not a
  total for all deaths.
- Military deaths are given separately (about 600,000 to 630,000).
- The source calls the estimates heavily disputed, so a single number
  overstates the certainty.
- The sentence does not say which side, or what is counted.

REWRITE
"Estimates of deaths in the Korean War are heavily disputed: about 600,000
to 630,000 military deaths and between 1.6 and 3 million civilian deaths,
including 137,899 South Korean and 36,515 US military dead or missing."

RULE
Give each category and its range, name the source type, and do not quote a
single total.
