Question

question 5 1 pts in the crap test, the \a\ stands for:
○ academic - is the source from a university website?
○ authority - what are the credentials of the author/creator of the website?
○ alternative - does this article agree with others or does it support an alternative view?
○ augmented - is the article using model or augmented reality to support the claims?

Explanation:

The CRAP Test is a tool for evaluating information sources, where "A" stands for "Authority". This assesses the credentials of the author/creator (e.g., expertise, qualifications) to determine source reliability. The other options misinterpret the "A" in CRAP: "Academic" is not the standard meaning, "Alternative" relates to content agreement (not "A" in CRAP), and "Augmented" is irrelevant to the test's criteria.

Answer:

B. Authority - What are the credentials of the author/creator of the website?
