Answer 1

Answer:

B)be cautious, as these responses involve a non-representative sample.

Explanation:

Hello! Sites like these have personal comments, and since each person has different perspectives, there are often malicious comments that are not reliable and can cross out a teacher with something that is not true, since they are mostly rumors. Students should be careful not to get carried away by comments that may not be true.
