Research Workshop: Generating Research Questions and Evaluating Sources

Question 6 • PBCSD_CR_1001375_English 3_for_Credit_Recovery_S1andS2_2015

Kenya is using the Internet to research the history of rock music in the United States. Which is the best way she can determine whether the sites she finds are reliable sources?

Answer
A
She can check if the sites have .gov, .org, or .edu URLs.
B
She can check if the sites provide information that relates to her topic.
C
She can check if the sites contain information she agrees with.
D
She can check if the sites include statistics and charts.

Explanation

A site’s web address can provide a useful clue about its source. Government (.gov), educational (.edu), and many nonprofit (.org) sites may offer trustworthy information, though the address alone does not guarantee accuracy. Relevance, agreement, or charts and statistics do not by themselves show that a site is reliable, so checking the domain is the best choice here.
