Question 10 • World Literature CR SUSD (EX)

Which news report is most likely to be a reliable source?

Answer
A
a news report that includes emotional language in a direct quotation
B
a news report that uses emotional language as part of an opinion
C
a news report that balances emotional language with plain language
D
a news report that uses boldface or italics to highlight emotional language

Explanation

A report is more likely to be reliable when its own language stays factual and any emotional wording is clearly presented as a direct quotation from a source. That lets readers distinguish the source’s feelings from the reporter’s narration. Using emotional language in an opinion or emphasizing it with formatting can make the report seem biased.
