Question

4.4.3 test (cst): wrap-up: modernism and the american dream
why would you ask where and when a source was published, who wrote it,
and whether it was fact - checked?

a. to determine whether the source will provide a solid counter -
argument.

b. to determine whether or not the information will support your
argument.

c. to determine the sources credibility.

d. to determine whether the author shares your views.

Explanation:

Asking about a source's publication details (where, when), author, and fact - checking is related to assessing its credibility. A source's credibility depends on factors like the author's expertise, the publication's reputation (implied by where and when it was published), and whether the information has been verified (fact - checked). Option A is incorrect as these questions aren't about finding a counter - argument. Option B is wrong because these questions don't directly relate to if the information supports an argument. Option D is incorrect as the author's views aren't the focus of these questions; the focus is on the reliability of the source.

Answer:

C. To determine the source's credibility.
