Question

Select all the correct answers.
Danny is writing a report about horseback riding for his class. Which of the following would most likely be good sources for his report?
a book that tells the true story of a boy who takes care of horses on a farm
a journal article that explains which breeds of horses are ideal for riding
a magazine article that explains how to properly mount and ride a horse
a book that explains how to train and ride horses for national competitions
a horse trainer's Web site where horseback riding methods are compared
a book about horses written by a man who owns a ranch in West Texas

Answer 1

All except the first option. Good sources:
- the journal article about ideal breeds
- the magazine article on how to mount and ride
- the book on training and riding for competitions
- the horse trainer’s website comparing methods
- the book about horses by a ranch owner

The first option (a true story about a boy caring for horses) is narrative/ anecdotal, so it’s least useful as an informational source about horseback riding.
