Question

in this section, youll assess another speakers stance by considering their point of view, use of evidence, and rhetoric. 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? analyze the sources and their origins to determine if there are any biases, errors, and so on. ask your followers which source they believe is correct. trust the scientific journal because it supports your viewpoint. trust the video because it was created in 2023, while the scientific journal was published in 2022.

Explanation:

When evaluating sources, it's crucial to analyze their credibility, potential biases, and accuracy. Relying on followers' opinions (which may be uninformed), trusting a source just because it aligns with one's viewpoint (confirmation bias), or choosing based solely on publication date (newer isn't always better without proper assessment) are all flawed approaches. Analyzing the sources and their origins to check for biases, errors, etc., is a logical and evidence - based method.

Answer:

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