Question 8 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Tori is researching for her blog post about how wearing sunblock can help prevent skin cancer, and she finds a page about her topic on the United States Centers for Disease Control website at http://www.cdc.gov. Is this a reliable site for Tori’s research?

Answer
A
yes, because it is presented by a college or university
B
no, because it is a personal opinion about the subject
C
yes, because it is run by a governmental organization
D
no, because it is intended to advertise a certain product

Explanation

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is a U.S. government agency, so its website is generally a reliable source for public health information. The site is not presented by a college or university, a personal opinion page, or an advertisement for a product. Therefore, the correct choice is “yes, because it is run by a governmental organization.”
