Question

your followers have received the video very well. one viewer has left a comment where she claims that the endangered animal statistics that were shared from a scientific journal are incorrect. she posts a link to a video that directly contradicts your source. how can you assess which source is correct: the video or the scientific journal? ∘ ask your followers which source they believe is correct. ∘ trust the scientific journal because it supports your viewpoint. ∘ analyze the sources and their origins to determine if there are any biases, errors, and so on. ∘ trust the video because it was created in 2023, while the scientific journal was published in 2022.

Explanation:

• Asking followers is not reliable as they may not be experts.
• Trusting a source just because it supports your viewpoint is biased.
• Trusting the video only because it's newer is not valid as recency doesn't guarantee accuracy.
• Analyzing sources and their origins (checking for biases, errors, credibility of the creator/publisher, methodology used in the research or content creation) is the proper way to assess which source is correct.

Answer:

C. Analyze the sources and their origins to determine if there are any biases, errors, and so on.
