Question 9 • FL-1700380-Career Research and Decision Making
Greg was looking at different websites to complete his paper for his accounting class. He found several websites that ended in .org, .gov, and .edu. He was unsure about franksmith.net, created by Frank Smith, which gave him a lot of information that he thought was important. Which best describes how Greg could find more information about the website to check for its validation?
Answer
A
Greg could assume it is valid because it is a .net.
B
Greg could look at the contact page to validate Frank’s expertise.
C
Greg could look to see if the website was updated recently.
D
Greg could assume it is valid since Frank is not selling anything.
Explanation
A contact page may provide information about Frank Smith’s background, qualifications, and expertise, helping Greg judge whether he is a credible source. A .net ending does not by itself establish that a website is trustworthy, and a recent update or lack of sales does not verify the author’s expertise. Therefore, the best choice is to check the contact page for information about Frank’s qualifications.
