Answer to Question 1

T

Answer to Question 2

Answer should include points such as the following:
The biggest limitation associated with reconstruction is that investigators can use only what is left behind to theorize what occurred in the past. The information available to make these theories is often much less than needed to create a full timeline of events.
Reconstruction relies on information from many tests and other sources that may take quite a bit of time. The reconstructing team may not receive all relevant information for days, weeks, months, or sometimes years after the incident.
