Read the scenario.Cam is working on a report for Civics class about voting in presidential elections. She’s found an infographic in a social media post that could be helpful. It includes statistics on voter participation from 1980 to 2020. The infographic does not list a source for the statistics it shows.
Answer
A
Look for reliable outside sources to confirm the statistics.
B
Look for an infographic that has a source and use that one instead.
C
Look for other social media sites that use the same infographic.
D
Look for the information about the person behind the account.
Explanation
Because the infographic does not identify where its statistics came from, Cam cannot check whether they are accurate based on the post alone. She should compare the figures with reliable outside sources, such as official election data or reputable research organizations. Finding the same infographic on other social media sites would not independently verify the statistics.
