Ellie is doing research for a paper on the government of ancient Greece. She knows little about the topic, so she wants to read something that will help her figure out what questions to ask.Which text would best match her reading purpose?

Answer
A
“The Ancient Ruins of Greece,” an advertisement on a travel website
B
“The Pillars of Greece,” a timeline with pictures that show key events in ancient Greek history
C
“Ancient Greek People and Their Rulers,” an article in an academic encyclopedia
D
“From Ancient Greece to Today,” a blog written by a college student for a political science class

Explanation

Because Ellie is beginning her research, she needs a reliable source that gives clear background on ancient Greek government. “Ancient Greek People and Their Rulers,” an article in an academic encyclopedia, directly addresses rulers and is likely to help her understand the topic and develop questions. The travel advertisement and timeline focus on other purposes, while the blog may be less authoritative and is not as directly focused on ancient Greek government.
