Which of the following questions would best help the student determine whether the information found on these websites is accurate?
  1. When was the content last updated by the site owner?
  2. Can the content be verified by other credible sources?
  3. Do the links on the home page connect to other websites?
  4. Has the content been reviewed and revised by others?
Explanation
Correct Response: B. The most reliable evidence of the accuracy of information on a website is corroboration from separate, unaffiliated, credible sources.
