Question

You hear about new research on a diet and wonder whether the new information is valid. Which of the following questions should you ask yourself in evaluating the research?

Did the writer of the report cite other reliable sources?
Does the writer use plenty of graphics to explain his or her findings?
Does the information match what I learned in school?
Has the writer’s book sold many copies?

Answer 1

The answer is “Did the writer of the report cite other reliable sources”. You can conclude this because the use of graphics has nothing to do with validity, not everything learned in school is always accurate, and the number of copies sold is not a reliable way of figuring out whether something is accurate or not. I hope this helps!
