When evaluating a source, which question addresses missing information?

• A. Is the source scholarly?
• B. What information is missing?
• C. Who published it?
• D. Are author's credentials listed?

Answer: (B)

When evaluating a source, you look for what information is not included that would help you understand, verify, or apply what the piece is saying. The question about missing information is asking you to identify those gaps. If essential details—such as the methodology, data, definitions, context, or references—aren’t provided, you can’t fully assess the reliability or usefulness of the source. Recognizing these gaps helps you decide whether to seek additional sources or treat the claims with caution.

Other questions focus on credibility and authority—whether the source is scholarly, who published it, or whether the author’s credentials are listed. Those matter for trust and expertise, but they don’t directly flag what important content is missing.
