Question 46 • S1S-OC: W. Hist/Geo/Cult 10B (E1172 - AG)

You have found a website titled "nomorepenny.biz.” The author is anonymous but claims to be an economist. Is the website reliable?

Answer
A
yes, because the author is an expert
B
yes, because the website has a .biz extension
C
no, because the author is anonymous
D
no, because there is only one author

Explanation

The author’s identity and qualifications cannot be verified because the author is anonymous, so the claim to be an economist is not enough to establish reliability. A .biz address does not guarantee accuracy, and having one author is not by itself a reason to reject a source. The best choice is “no, because the author is anonymous.”
