Question 34 • EA Academy Civics 9

Which statement explains why one source is the most reliable?

Answer
A
The Squawkbook post is the most reliable source because ConcernedCitizen was at the meeting.
B
The Local Reader article is the most reliable source because it shows a photograph of the lots.
C
The Squawkbook post is the most reliable source because it provides the author’s opinion of the council.
D
The Local Reader article is the most reliable source because the author offers a neutral reporting of facts.

Explanation

A source is generally more reliable when it reports information neutrally and focuses on verifiable facts rather than personal opinions. A photograph can show what the lots look like, but it does not by itself establish the full story, and being at a meeting does not make every claim accurate. The statement that the Local Reader article offers neutral reporting of facts best explains its reliability.
