Explanation / Answer
23.None of the above
The topmost website to avoid when doing research is the Wikipedia. Its entries can be written and edited by anyone. The information presented on this website is unsubstantiated and in some cases, inaccurate. Other popular websites to avoid are blogs. Anyone can write a blog and mostly they are anonymous ones so you are not able to verify the author’s credentials. Dot-com sites also fall into the category. These dot-com sites are interested in marketing and the people hosting the sites are trying to sell you something. The best choice is to refer to peer-reviewed journals books, encyclopedias and dot edu sites.
24.All of these are examples of plagiarism.
25.I went to Publix to buy some bread, but I forgot to bring my wallet.
