practice: week 3 lesson 2 self - assessment
question 4
when evaluating a sources credibility, which area of the craap method would be used to determine if the source has a bias?
○ authority
○ purpose
○ accuracy
○ currency

Explanation:

The CRAAP method (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose) uses the "Purpose" area to determine if a source has a bias. Purpose assesses why the source was created, including if it aims to persuade, inform, entertain, etc., which reveals potential bias. Authority relates to the author's credentials, Accuracy to the source's correctness, and Currency to timeliness—none of these directly address bias like Purpose does.

Answer:

B. Purpose
