Question

For homework on Valentine’s Day, Roberto is supposed to find a poem about love and analyze it. He types “love poems” in his search engine, and the first site he clicks on has more advertisements than it does text. In fact, there are so many ads that the pop-up blocker cannot even keep up with them. Next, he scrolls down to the bottom to try to find out about the webmaster. There is no information. Then, he clicks on the link for the privacy policy. When he does this, a loud voice starts talking, and he realizes it is another advertisement.

At this point, what should Roberto do?
A.
He has already spent a lot of time on the site, so he should just continue and try to find a good poem.
B.
He should try to find a better website because this one is most likely not credible.
C.
He should use this site but realize that he will have to put up with many advertisements.
D.
He should be patient with the ad pop-ups and do some more research with the website to determine if it is a credible source or not.

Answer 1

B. He should try to find a better website because this one is most likely not credible.

Answer 2

B. He should try to find a better website because this one is most likely not credible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Credible sites, in addition to value the truth of the information, values the appearance of the site and the security and operation of the computer of who is accessing the site.

Websites with a large number of advertisements are generally unreliable, make it difficult for the computer to be accessed, look uncomfortable, polluted and do not allow a user to do the research, as the number of ads makes it difficult.

When Roberto found this type of site, he should have suspected that the site is not credible as it was making it impossible for him to do his research.
