Question 2 • English I

Which source is not credible? A student is researching the effects of sugar on teenagers.

Answer

a newspaper article from this year about findings from a local dietician regarding sugar consumption

an online article from earlier this year featuring findings from a study on sugar and teenagers

a research study conducted by a university last year on the impacts of sugar on high school students

a blog post made three years ago by a group of students offering their experience with sugar

Explanation

A credible source should rely on qualified expertise or systematic research and be relevant to the topic. The newspaper article, online article about a study, and university research study all report findings that can be checked. The three-year-old student blog mainly offers personal experience, so it is the least credible source for research on sugar’s effects on teenagers.
