Question 8 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which factor is most important to consider when evaluating a journal article about global warming?

Answer
A
Is the article long enough?
B
Does the article contain facts or only opinions?
C
Did the author of the article use complex, scientific words?
D
Does the author of the article have a doctorate degree?

Explanation

When evaluating an article about global warming, focus on whether its claims are supported by evidence and reliable facts rather than opinion alone. Length and complex scientific language do not prove that an article is accurate, and an author's doctorate by itself does not guarantee that the article is trustworthy. The best choice is “Does the article contain facts or only opinions?”
