Question 3 • EA Academy Online Learning and Digital Citizenship Elective Spring

Amit is researching the science behind a new diet. He typed the name of the diet and the word science into a search engine.

Answer
A
infomercial featuring the nutritionist who invented the diet.
B
journal article about the diet written by a government nutritionist.
C
chat room discussion about the pros and cons of the diet.
D
website with links to diets that have come and gone over the years.

Explanation

A journal article written by a government nutritionist is the most likely source of reliable scientific evidence. The author has relevant expertise, and a journal article can present research and supporting data. The diet’s inventor may have a financial interest in promoting it, while a chat room and a website about past diet trends are less direct sources of scientific research.
