Question

PLEASE HELP WITH 8TH GRADE ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Review the scenario:

Khianna is looking for information of a specific disease.

Which reference material would be mostly likely to contain this information?

A. a medical encyclopedia
B. a government website
C. an individual.com website
D. encyclopedia of general knowledge

Answer 1

D is not correct because if Khianna is looking up info for a specific disease, it wouldn't be that efficient to look it up in an encyclopedia of general knowledge.

C is not correct either, since 1, you're not supposed to trust .com websites for reliable information, and 2, there's no guarrentee that there will be a good website dedicated to that disease.

It's down between A and B. In terms of reliability, they're both good choices, but a medical encyclopedia would narrow down on the disease further than I think a government site would.

So the answer is A! :)

Answer 2

Khiana needs to use a medical encyclopedia if she wants to find information about a specific disease (option A).

Choosing the right source

• We can eliminate option B simply because it is unclear what the website is about.

• We can also eliminate option C because, again, we have no information what this individual site is about.

• An encyclopedia of general knowledge might not have information concerning the specific disease Khiana is looking or it might have incomplete information.

• The best option is letter A. A medical encyclopedia is extremely likely to have information on all known diseases and to provide better and more details about it.
