Examining Culture and Prejudice in Literature — Test

Question 12 • Expository Reading and Writing

Which sources would be considered credible when researching a year-round school schedule? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
a study published by the National Education Association
B
information found on a wiki site
C
a blog written by a teacher sharing her thoughts about the subject
D
a recent online newspaper article discussing the positive effects of a traditional school year
E
the website of the Department of Education

Explanation

Credible research sources generally come from established organizations or reputable news outlets and provide information that can be checked. A study published by the National Education Association and information from the Department of Education are organization-based sources; a recent newspaper article is also a professionally reported source. A wiki can be edited by many users, and a teacher’s personal blog mainly shares one person’s views, so those are less reliable for research.
