Question 8 • Ethnic Studies Edge IC

How can researchers avoid the use of biased sources in historical research?

Answer
A
Analyze the data subjectively to determine if it makes sense.
B
Rely on editorials because they are fair and balanced.
C
Look for a variety of perspectives and data that are inclusive.
D
Identify sources that express an opinion that they also support.

Explanation

Researchers can reduce bias by comparing information from different perspectives and seeking inclusive evidence. This helps reveal gaps or one-sided accounts that may appear when relying on a single source. Choice C, looking for a variety of perspectives and inclusive data, is the best approach; editorials and sources that simply reinforce an existing opinion may be biased.
