Which one is correct?
I'm stumped with this question, can someone help?
A man is reported to be continually suffering from loss of consciousness/fainting. He denies this accusation. He is then asked to provide contemporaneous confirmatory evidence to support his statement.
What is the man being asked to provide?

2). Evidence that the likelihood of him fainting in the near future is not forseeable
