Question 19 • Hopkins FA American Literature (2026-2027)

Dimitri is giving a presentation about how a drop in the housing market contributed to a recession. Which online media source is the most valid to include in his presentation?

Answer
A
news reports of people who lost their homes in the recession
B
illustrations of abandoned homes from across the country
C
tables of home-sale statistics from the federal government
D
podcasts featuring labor-market experts who discuss unemployment

Explanation

To show how the housing market declined, Dimitri needs reliable evidence about home sales. Tables of home-sale statistics from the federal government provide relevant numerical data from an authoritative source. Personal stories and illustrations may show the recession’s effects, while expert podcasts focus on unemployment rather than directly measuring the housing-market drop.
