Question 13 • IC English 11 - Deering

Miguel is researching the effects of pollution on the Pacific Ocean, and he has found several potential sources. Which is a scholarly source?

Answer
A
a surfer’s blog that contains daily observations
B
a message board that contains people’s questions about sea life
C
an interactive website about deep-sea fishing
D
an academic journal about the marine environment

Explanation

A scholarly source is written or reviewed by experts and presents research or academic information. An academic journal about the marine environment is therefore the best source for Miguel’s research. The blog, message board, and interactive fishing website may offer useful observations or information, but they are not necessarily scholarly publications.
