Question 9 • NY-Life Science: BiologyTerm 2 Hillcrest

A commercial on television advertises a new medicine that claims to boost immunity. You want to verify that the claim is scientifically based. Which source is least likely to provide you with accurate information about this new medicine?

Answer
A
a magazine about entertainment and lifestyle trends
B
the studies that the television ad cites
C
a brochure from the doctor’s office
D
the website of the governmental agency that tests health products

Explanation

An entertainment and lifestyle magazine is least likely to evaluate a medicine using scientific evidence or expert review. The studies cited in the ad, a doctor’s office brochure, and a government agency’s website are more directly connected to research or health information. So the least reliable source here is the magazine about entertainment and lifestyle trends.
