Creating a Blog

Question 9 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Sofia is researching for a blog post about why people who want pets should adopt from pet shelters, and she finds a website called CaraLovesRescuePups.com. It’s run by a dog owner who writes about her experiences with the puppy she adopted from a local shelter. Is this a reliable site for Sofia’s research?

Answer
A
no, because it contains a government domain-name suffix
B
yes, because it contains a commercial domain-name suffix
C
no, because it contains primarily personal opinions
D
yes, because it’s written by someone who has a rescue pup

Explanation

Sofia needs reliable information about why people should adopt from shelters, but the site is described as a dog owner’s personal blog about her own experience. Personal experiences and opinions may be useful as examples, but they do not by themselves provide objective, well-supported research. The site’s .com ending and the writer’s ownership of a rescue dog do not establish reliability. So the best choice is “no, because it contains primarily personal opinions.”
