Question 3 • Principles of American Democracy

What are some questions you can ask to determine a source’s credibility? Choose four correct answers.

Answer
A
Is the author an expert?
B
Who wrote the information?
C
Do I agree with the information?
D
Is the information given from a specific point of view?
E
Does the information seem reasonable?

Explanation

To assess credibility, check who wrote the information and whether the author has relevant expertise. Consider whether the source presents a particular point of view and whether its claims seem reasonable. Agreeing with the information does not establish that it is credible; reliable sources should be evaluated using evidence and authorship, not personal agreement.
