I dont need help on the seventh question of course
my mistake I should show you my answers
1. A source is the origin of which information came from. Primary and secondary sources are 2 examples.
2. The person the source came from does not want people to know that the information came from them.
3. They don’t want certain people to know they let this information go public. Reporters can use off the record information to uncover related facts.
4. They can use social media and reliable people.
5. A question that cannot be answered with a yes or no. A question that comes with a multiple choice and can be answered with a simple yes or no. Here are 2 examples. Close ended question: What do you think of starbucks? Love it or hate it? Open ended question: On a scale of 1-10 how satisfied are you? This is an open-ended question because you have more free form on how to answer it.
6. If their source is not credible, they could be accused of lying.
