Suppose you have read two different books on World War II, and each book has different arguments about how the war started. Whic
h of the following would be most useful in evaluating each argument? A. Determine which author used the most persuasive language
B. Determine which author wrote the longest book
C. Determine which author used the most reliable sources
D. Determine which author used more sources
The correct answer is - C. Determine which author used the most reliable sources.
This is extremely important when trying to find out the truth and to determine what is right, what is wrong, what is a subjective opinion, or what is objective opinion. By using the most reliable sources, the author proves that he/she is trying to portray the real picture of what happened, and not expressing theories or personal opinions about things he/she has not witnessed, or to be influenced by only one side of the war.
"<span>C. Determine which author used the most reliable sources" would be the most useful in evaluating each argument, since an argument is only as good as the sources used to back it up. </span>
