The student includes four supporting documents, meeting the requirement of three to five, which consist of both quantitative data from Monster Beverage's quarterly reports and qualitative insights from external sources. All documents are contemporary, published within three years prior to submission, and clearly labeled. However, the student has not provided sufficiently in-depth supporting documents, as they primarily rely on financial reports and news articles without incorporating market research or consumer analyses. Additionally, the student does not highlight relevant sections of the documents or provide a range of perspectives, which limits the depth of the investigation. The assessment of the validity and reliability of the supporting documents is effectively presented, categorizing them as internal or external and quantitative or qualitative.
