Question

1. antonio tells nia that she can trust an essay as a source because it’s been peer - reviewed. in this case, who are the peers that antonio is talking about?

the author’s friends
experts in the author’s field
people who bought the author’s book
people from the same college as the author

Explanation:

Peer - review in academic context means that the work (here, the essay) is reviewed by individuals who have expertise in the same field as the author. These individuals are called peers in this context. The author's friends may not have the relevant expertise, people who bought the author's book are just consumers, and people from the same college may not be experts in the author's field. So the peers are experts in the author's field.

Answer:

B. experts in the author’s field
