Question 9 • World History: Issues and Patterns

Radha, a middle school student, writes a blog post about citizenship. Why might her post lack credibility as a source?

Answer
A
She does not cite sources.
B
She does not have valid credentials.
C
She tries to present neutral information.
D
She tries to change readers’ opinions.

Explanation

A source is more credible when its author has relevant knowledge or experience. Radha is a middle school student, so she may lack credentials or expertise about citizenship. Not citing sources can also weaken credibility, but the question points to her lack of qualifications as the reason.
