Question

Dana receives the writing prompt below.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Dana should ask, “What are some modern examples of Pandora’s influence?” using an encyclopedia entry for research.

Explanation:

Research questions to get information about a topic always need to focus on the writing prompt if it was provided. This means in the case of Dana as she has been asked to "explain the impact of her story on today’s culture" the second question should be "What are some modern examples of Pandora’s influence?" because this directly addresses the impact on today's culture rather than "What was the effect of Pandora’s box upon Greek culture?" that has a different focus. Besides this, in terms of credibility, sources such as books, encyclopedias or articles that are written by experts and have been reviewed by other experts are more credible than web pages or blogs. According to this, the source Dana should use is an encyclopedia rather than a blog.

Answer 2

C, because the question follows the prompt and an encyclopedia is the most accurate source. Hope I was of some assistance :)
