A Nation Dividing and Expanding: Civil War, Regionalism, and Realism — Test

Question 19 • Literature and Composition III

Kenya is using the Internet to research the history of rock music in the United States. Which is the best way she can determine whether the sites she finds are reliable sources?

Answer
A
She can check if the sites provide information that relates to her topic.
B
She can check if the sites contain information she agrees with.
C
She can check if the sites have .gov, .org, or .edu URLs.
D
She can check if the sites include statistics and charts.

Explanation

A site’s domain can provide a useful clue about who publishes it. Government, educational, and many nonprofit sites ending in .gov, .edu, or .org are often more reliable than sites with no clear publisher, though the information should still be checked. Relevance, agreement, and charts do not by themselves show that a source is trustworthy.
