Answer 1

1. B. Webpage

2. C. Encyclopedia

3. B. Local newspaper

4. A. Textbook

5. D. All of the above

6. D. Periodicals

7. D. Newsweek

8. A. They have been reviewed and fact-checked for accuracy

9. C. A book about the creation of the Statue of Liberty

10. Both A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Print sources typically consist of magazines, textbooks, and newspapers. The oddball here is the webpage.

2. A is wrong because the newspaper may or may not have information on Zebras. A magazine would most likely not have any information. D is wrong because an atlas is a book full of maps. An encyclopedia would be the best answer because it gives information on a variety of topics.

3. A is wrong because a textbook wouldn't have the latest news. A reference book on parks wouldn't pertain to just the park project taking place in James city. And an encyclopedia would not have that specific park project. Therefore, the best answer is B. Local newspaper because it would have news on the project.

4. A newspaper, magazine, and scholarly journal are all periodical. A textbook is concrete.

5. You can use all of these as sources of information and they are all nonfiction

6. As stated in one of the above questions we see that periodicals are published at intervals. All other answers would be wrong.

7. If Kendra was looking for news on a particular current event she would want to read Newsweek. Vogue is a fashion magazine, Car and Driver is about cars, and Cat Fancy is about cats.

8. If a journal is proved reliable then it needed to be reviewed by someone right? So the first answer makes the most sense. All other answers are wrong because they aren't written by just teachers, they aren't written for just college students, and they don't contain outdated information.

9. A book about the creation of the Statue of Liberty would give the most history of the statue. A newspaper about restorations gives no history, a visitors brochure may not give history, and a dictionary entry of the word liberty doesn't make sense.

10. We can look back at the first question and see types of print sources, and they can be found in both libraries and bookstores!!

Hope this helps!!
