Jacob is writing a report about the benefits of running. He is looking for sources to support his opinion that running has health benefits. Which choice would be LEAST LIKELY to provide him with information to support his opinion?

A) a health magazine
B) a website called Runner's World
C) a news article about the Boston marathon
D) a book entitled Healthy Habits for a Long Life

I think it is a, because it does not give you a better detail of what it is talking about.

Probably A, yes.

Popular magazines may not be excellent sources, but may contain good information. A news story about the Boston Marathon would be likely to focus on things like who won, how many participated, safety precautions, etc., and not so much health benefits of running as exercise.

It is probably A
