Question

Taking this question the third time now, I keep picking the choice A. Not sure if I'm right or wrong. Can anyone explain?

Which plan would best direct your search for the public’s perception of a mayor’s intent to install video cameras at traffic lights?

A) search your local library for current newspaper articles about the plan
B) read a press release from the mayor’s office announcing the plan
C) interview ten drivers about their opinions of the plan
D) attend the next city council meeting and take notes

Answer 1

Which choices can we eliminate right away?

Answer 2

(Also, A is incorrect.)

Answer 3

I would eliminate C and D

Answer 4

Right, neither of those are logical nor credible sources.

Answer 5

How does B makes sense?

Answer 6

So, we're left with one last option.

This is correct because the source is the mayor's office itself, which is the most credible source. The press will release this information through various forms of media such as local newspapers or on television.

Choice A is incorrect because firstly, you don't need to go to a library to get a local newspaper, and secondly, if you're looking for a newspaper in a library, it's going to be an older article which won't be of much help if you're looking for newer plans.

Answer 7

Does that make sense?

Answer 8

Definitely, thank you.
