Choosing Words Wisely

Question 1 • EF English 12 - 1st 9 Weeks (New)

A student is researching articles on the Internet to use in an argumentative essay. Which of these characteristics help the student know that the source is credible? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
It comes from an established news organization.
B
It gives data about the topic.
C
It tells a story about the topic.
D
It provides information as opposed to just opinion.
E
It explains a single viewpoint on the topic.

Explanation

An established news organization is more likely to have editorial standards, and relevant data can support claims with evidence. A source that provides information rather than only opinion is also more useful for reliable research. Telling a story or presenting just one viewpoint does not, by itself, show that a source is credible.
