question 4 / 10
you are going to buy a computer, but first you want to do some research to help you select the best model for your needs. where should you look for the fairest and most reliable information?
a. the website of a popular computer company.
b. advice from a salesperson in a computer store who earns commissions on sales.
c. advertisements that a computer company puts in a computer magazine.
d. an independent consumer education website that reviews and rates computers.

Explanation:

To find the fairest and most reliable information for buying a computer, an independent consumer education website (Option D) is best. The company's website (A) and their magazine ads (C) are biased toward their own products. A salesperson (B) earns commissions, so their advice may be biased toward selling specific (possibly higher - commission) models. An independent site has no such biases and aims to provide objective reviews and ratings.

Answer:

D. An independent consumer education website that reviews and rates computers.
