    • Popular magazine

    • Academic journal

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    The citation includes the title of the article, the names of the authors, the name of the journal, the volume and issue number, and the page numbers.

    What sort of information do you get from popular sources?

    • Personal narratives

    • Statistics

    • Factual account of an event

    • Analysis of research on a topic

    • Both personal narratives and factual accounts

    Correct Answer
    A. Both personal narratives and factual accounts
    Explanation
    Popular sources often provide a combination of personal narratives and factual accounts. Personal narratives offer subjective experiences and perspectives, allowing readers to connect emotionally with the information. On the other hand, factual accounts provide objective information and present events or situations based on evidence and research. The inclusion of both personal narratives and factual accounts in popular sources allows for a more comprehensive understanding of a topic, combining both emotional and factual aspects.

  • 4. 

    Go to the following website: http://martinlutherking.org/. Is this an example of a credible website?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The given website, http://martinlutherking.org/, is not an example of a credible website. The domain name itself suggests that it is associated with Martin Luther King, which may lead people to believe that it is an official or reliable source of information about him. However, upon visiting the website, it becomes apparent that it promotes white supremacy and contains racist content. This clearly indicates that the website is not credible and should not be trusted for accurate information about Martin Luther King or any related topics.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What type of source is this an example of?: "What Martin Luther King, Jr. Means to me". Ebony 41.3 (1986): 74-80. Academic Search Complete. Ebsco. Web. 10 March 2012.

    • Newspaper

    • Professional Trade Journal

    • Popular magazine

    • Academic journal

    Correct Answer
    A. Popular magazine
    Explanation
    This source is an example of a popular magazine. This can be inferred from the title "Ebony" and the fact that it is listed under the "Popular magazine" option in the answer choices. Additionally, the publication date of 1986 suggests that it is not an academic journal, as academic journals typically have more recent publication dates.
