Question 11 • TX-English III

Sofia is researching the effects of pesticides on honeybees.

Answer
A
a pesticide company’s website page detailing the benefits of their products
B
a scholarly journal from 2020 that examines honeybee deaths in California’s Central Valley
C
an interview with a farmer who argues that his use of pesticides does not affect his beehives
D
a personal blog from someone who has used the product describing their experience

Explanation

A scholarly journal article examining honeybee deaths is the strongest source for researching the effects of pesticides on honeybees. It focuses on relevant evidence and is more likely to use systematic research than a company benefits page, an individual farmer’s opinion, or a personal blog. Therefore, the best choice is the 2020 scholarly journal article about honeybee deaths in California’s Central Valley.
