Question

which of the following is likely to be the most reputable source for your research report on henrietta lacks?
○ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/henrietta_lacks
○ http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/jun/23/henrietta-lacks
○ http://henriettalacks.blogspot.com/
○ http://www.myspace.com/henriettalacks

Explanation:

To determine the most reputable source for a research report on Henrietta Lacks, we analyze each option:

• Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks) is a widely - used and relatively reliable source for general information, with a large number of contributors and a system of references and edits to ensure accuracy to a certain extent.
• The Guardian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/jun/23/henrietta - lacks) is a well - known and respected international newspaper with a strong reputation for journalistic integrity and in - depth reporting, especially in the field of science. However, when it comes to a comprehensive and detailed source for a research report, Wikipedia often provides a more comprehensive overview with references to other sources.
• The blogspot (http://henriettalacks.blogspot.com/) and MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/henriettalacks) sources are likely to be personal or non - professional sources. Blogs can be written by anyone without the same level of fact - checking as more established sources, and MySpace is a social networking site, not a scholarly or highly - reputable news/research - focused source.

Among these, Wikipedia is a more comprehensive and widely - recognized source for gathering information for a research report, although The Guardian is also reputable. But in terms of the breadth of information and the ability to serve as a starting point for a research report, Wikipedia is a very good choice.

Answer:

A. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks
