Question

PLZ HELP ASAP!!Todd is writing a research paper about the laws for riding a bicycle in his city. His thesis is that not allowing people to ride bikes on the sidewalk puts both bicyclists and motorists in danger. Todd decides to use the Internet for part of his research.  He comes across the American Bicycle Riders Web site. There is an article about why riding bicycles on the sidewalk is illegal by ABR President Bob Johnson. He says it is because bicycles are expected to follow the same laws of the road as cars and trucks. The article also says that bicycles on the sidewalk are a danger to people who are walking. Todd also found a blog by an anonymous person on a Web site called Bicycle Renegades. The writer says he or she likes to ride on the sidewalk even though it is illegal. The writer doesn't want to be hit by a car. What is one way for Todd to decide which source is more credible to use?

A. The second article agrees with Todd's thesis, so it is the most credible.
B. The American Bicycle Riders article came up first in the search, so it is most credible.
C. The first article gives the name of the author, so it is more credible.
D. The Bicycle Renegades article is based on personal experience, so it is more credible.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Anonymous blogs are not good sources in general because you have no idea who could have written it. It is also better to use info from respected or well known sources, which a blog is not.
