Question 5 • MS Cyber Foundation I

Which source is the most relevant, credible, and valid for a student writing a research paper on healthy eating habits?

Answer
A
a video made by an Olympic gymnast detailing her weekly meal and exercise plans
B
an editorial cartoon that suggests large portion sizes at fast food restaurants contribute to childhood obesity
C
a chart published by the Food and Drug Administration displaying recommended portion sizes of various foods
D
a graph made by a high school science teacher that shows the relationship between dining out and weight gain

Explanation

The Food and Drug Administration is an authoritative source, and its chart gives direct information about recommended portion sizes, which is relevant to healthy eating habits. The gymnast’s personal routine may not apply to most people, while the cartoon is meant to persuade rather than provide reliable data. The teacher’s graph may be useful, but the question gives no information about how its data were collected or verified.
