Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5 101 screen sources for credibility grade 5 worksheet skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A report on a '.gov' subsite looks official, but the URL includes '/~user/' and the page states it is a personal archive by a retired employee. The page was last updated in 2009.

What is the most accurate evaluation?

AA .gov address guarantees the page is current policy.

BIf it is personal, it must be completely false.

CRetired employees cannot archive anything accurately.

DThe domain suggests government hosting, but the page is personal and outdated; treat it as an informal, possibly obsolete source and verify with current official pages.

Solution & Explanation:Even within official domains, subpages can be personal or archived. Author, purpose, and date still matter.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

An article uses a quote from a scientist to support a claim. You find the full interview, and the scientist's next sentence contradicts how the quote is used.

What credibility issue does this demonstrate?

APlagiarism, because the quote is used at all.

BPeer review, because an interview is a study.

CQuote mining: selecting parts of a quote out of context to mislead about the speaker's intended meaning.

DSatire, because scientists are quoted.

Solution & Explanation:Screening includes checking context. Out-of-context quotes can distort meaning and should be corrected by reading the full source.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A blog argues that a study was 'funded by industry' and therefore false. When you read the paper, it includes open data, preregistration, and independent replication by other teams with similar results.

What is the best credibility conclusion?

AFunding always determines whether results are true.

BIndustry funding is a potential bias, but strong transparency and independent replication increase credibility; evaluate the full evidence, not funding alone.

CReplication never matters if money is involved.

DOpen data proves the authors had no bias.

Solution & Explanation:Credibility is multi-factor. Conflicts of interest matter, but methods, transparency, and replication can mitigate concerns.
