our school just made it part of the assessment where you have to analyse a source's reliability and usefulness (basically like ww1, part 3)

It doesn't matter which options you are doing.

Quotes, if used well, do add something to your essays. But, too many students use descriptive rather than evaluative quotes. There's no point quoting a fact, quote (or paraphrase) an opinion instead. If the question begins with evaluate/asses/ analyse etc, then you do need to judge and quotes may help you do that.

You do not have to quote historians in a Modern essay to get full marks, although many top answers do.

You have to show that you understand the different interpretations of the topic you are studying.

Using quotes is one way to do that but it is far better to be able to sum up the ideas and intreprations of different historians to support your argument.
