Question

Which one of the following is an indictator that a source may not be accurate?

Answer 1

The author doesn't offer facts, statistics, or specific examples, but uses vague statements and sweeping generalizations is an indicator that a source may not be accurate.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Obviously, it is very important for the author to also mention from where the details are obtained so that they can be referred or checked in case there is a need to verify the same. While verifying is secondary, inclusion is something which can be interpreted.

Such that the author has done enough research to make a claim through the data being used and point being made.  Through the addition of facts, statistics and specific examples, the author establishes credibility and accuracy in the statements being made.
