Question

Leslie is researching a story on retirement and she knows there’s a popular book that was recently written. She only remembers that the title has the words “makeover” and “retirement.” What search terms would give her the BEST results?

A.
”retirement -makeover”
B.
~retirement ~makeover
C.
“retirement * makeover”
D.
retirement makeover site: edu

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

The search term "retirement * makeover" will return results that include both the words "retirement" and "makeover" in any order. This is the best option for Leslie, as she is looking for a book that includes both of these words in the title.

The search term "retirement -makeover" will return results that include the word "retirement" but not the word "makeover." This is not a good option for Leslie, as she is looking for a book that includes both of these words in the title.

The search term "~retirement ~makeover" will return results that include the words "retirement" and "makeover" as well as synonyms for these words. This is not a good option for Leslie, as she is looking for a book that includes the specific words "retirement" and "makeover" in the title.

The search term "retirement makeover site: edu" will return results that include the words "retirement" and "makeover" and that are from educational websites. This is not a good option for Leslie, as she is looking for a book, not a website.
