1) Accuracy. Verify the information you already know against the information found in the source. Look also for disclaimers as to the accuracy of the content. You may also want to double-check the information against a source that you already know is trustworthy. Even though a source may use technical language, the content may be misleading.

2) Authority. Make sure the source is written by a trustworthy author and/or institution. If you are using a webpage, you can usually identify the owner/publisher by the URL, or check for a copyright statement near the bottom of the page. Make sure the author has the proper credentials on the subject matter. Also, determine if the source is biased. For example, if it is medical information from a drug company, that company will provide information in support of its product. Be aware of the objectivity of the author and his/her viewpoints.

Aleksandr [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

The King of Calydon contributes to the central conflict in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress" when he encourages Atalanta to sew with the women instead of hunt; this puts Atalanta at odds with the expectations of society. So, the correct answer option is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The central conflict is the gender conflict and behaviour found in "Atalanta: the Fleet-Footed Huntress." It is through the character of the king that the story shows the prejudice men have towards Atalanta or women in general. When he suggests Atalanta to sew with other women instead of hunting reflects the thought of men towards women. Also, the importance of behaving properly is highlighted irrespective of gender. When the king asks Atalanta to sew he not only demeaned her but also showed himself as a person who thinks gender is superior to behaviour.
