Writing Workshop: Conducting Research to Write an Informative Essay — Quiz

Question 3 • United States History and Geography

When writing an informative essay, the best way to make sure Internet information is reliable is to use

Answer
A
sites with no spelling mistakes.
B
URLs ending in .gov, .com, or .edu.
C
sites with statistics and charts.
D
URLs ending in .gov, .org, or .edu.

Explanation

Among these choices, .gov, .org, and .edu sites are generally more likely to provide information from government agencies, organizations, or educational institutions. A .com address can belong to a commercial site, so its information may be less appropriate as a reliable source. A website’s ending alone does not guarantee accuracy, so check who published the information and whether it is supported by credible evidence.
