Question 1
The author, in this case, has improved the material from the four source essay to the six source essay by adding more paragraphs and content to provide a more in-depth explanation concerning the issue of growing old under the one-child policy in China. Notably, the second, eighth, and ninth paragraphs in the six source essay are not included in the four source essay as a way of improving the content of the author's work.
Question 2
The author has added three more sources in the six source essay to help in improving the content of the essay as opposed to the four source essay. The added sources include Chen et al. (2018), Glass, Gao, and Luo (2013), and Lu, Liu, Piggott, (2015). At the same time, the author has dropped one of the sources used in the four source essay written by Zhang and Goza (2006). The addition of the new sources has helped in creating an appropriate understanding of the steps that have been taken by the Chinese government to address the aging problem in the country, the role of successive generations in caring for the elderly, and the roles that are played by many scholars towards the provision of eldercare by the government at the national level as opposed to putting the burden on individuals.

Question 3
As noted by Chen, Xu, Li, and Song (2018), the combination of lower mortality rates, increased life expectancy, and below-replacement fertility has accelerated China's aging society, therefore, heralding new challenges in eldercare for the country. The transitional phrase ‘therefore' has been added to this section of paragraph 3 of the six source essay to indicate the logical relationship between the new changes in eldercare for China and the country's aging society that has been accelerated by below-replacement fertility, increased life expectancy, and lower mortality rates.
