Question 1 • Summer 26 - Communication Applications ADV

In a speech she gave to her classmates, Sharon quoted a statistic from 1955. What is the problem with this?

Answer
A
The source is not credible.
B
The source is not recent.
C
The source is not personal.
D
The source is not a testimony.

Explanation

A statistic from 1955 is very old, so it may no longer reflect current conditions. The problem is that the source is not recent, which is choice B. The statistic could still come from a credible source, but its age makes it less useful for describing the present.
