A mean (also known as average) is adding up all the numbers you have and then dividing it by how many numbers you had. Tara says the mean is 6. When you add these numbers up you have 30 and there are 5 numbers. When you divide 30 by 5 you get 6, therefore Tara is correct.
I would say that it is the job of those who use the internet research ie such as authors to evaluate the credibility of the information gleaned from there and one way is to identify the source ie to verify it say a magazine that is a legitimate entity by calling it or say by asking someone one knows about the validity of the facts one has gathered to confirm them or at least part of them as a sample to test the validity of the whole information. Checking more than one source is a good idea too to corroborate information if much the same answer is obtained from say 2 or more sources it probably has more credibility.
I had to look for the missing passage and the options and here is the answer:"Here is New York" is a book that was written by E. B. White and Roger Angell.

The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own and is a mere roost where he comes at day’s end to go to sleep. (This answer is based on the actual options attached to this question).
