jena is doing research for a presentation about pesticides in the fruits and vegetables people eat. which source provides the most reliable information for research?

○ a university site showing the results of a study on which foods absorb chemicals
○ a personal blog that talks about the superiority of organic fruits and vegetables
○ a wiki that explains how to use pesticides sparingly on vegetable gardens
○ a website that sells products designed for pest control in gardens

Explanation:

To determine the most reliable source, we analyze each option:

• A university site with study results is peer - reviewed, based on research, and aims to provide accurate information about food and chemicals (relevant to pesticides in fruits/vegetables).
• A personal blog is subjective and may not have factual, research - based info.
• A wiki can be edited by anyone and may not have rigorous fact - checking, and its focus on using pesticides in gardens is less relevant to pesticide absorption in food for human consumption.
• A website selling pest - control products has a commercial bias and may not provide objective, research - based info on pesticides in food people eat.

Answer:

a. a university site showing the results of a study on which foods absorb chemicals
