Question

question 4 of 20
why would you ask where and when a source was published, who wrote it,
and whether it was fact - checked?

a. to determine whether or not the information will support your
argument.

b. to determine whether the source will provide a solid counter-
argument.

c. to determine the source’s credibility.

d. to determine whether the author shares your views.

Explanation:

Asking about a source's publication details (where, when), author, and fact - checking status is a common way to assess its credibility. Publication date can show if the info is up - to - date, the author's expertise matters, and fact - checking indicates reliability. Option A is about supporting an argument, not related to these checks. Option B is about counter - arguments, which these questions don't address. Option D is about the author's views, while these questions are about the source's trustworthiness.

Answer:

C. To determine the source’s credibility.
