Problem 2
Answer and explanation
The trial source can support a claim about its stated users, while the official article can define a water-system term. Institutional authority on one subject does not verify an unrelated local result. Record source title and location for each claim.

Problem 3
Answer and explanation
The model is invented for explanation. Credit and label it as hypothetical, and do not invent a research location or method. A real school result requires a dated observation and appropriate record.

Problem 4
Answer and explanation
In the first case, Describe it as a hypothetical model and preserve its role in explaining pathways. Actual school measurements require a dated local method and record. In the changed case, The trial source can support a claim about its stated users, while the official article can define a water-system term. Institutional authority on one subject does not verify an unrelated local result. Record source title and location for each claim. The method of defining the relationship and testing relevant evidence transfers; the particular source detail and scope must be checked anew.

Problem 10
Answer and explanation
An inquiry begins with an answerable question, a scope and the kind of evidence needed. Narrow a subject by place, time, process or comparison. Identify whether the question asks what happened, why, or what ought to be done: each calls for a different kind of support. Use an example from the supplied case and explain the limit in ordinary language.

Problem 20
Answer and explanation
A medium is a form of communication, such as a photograph, chart or recording. Identify who created the message and whether it reports, persuades, sells or entertains. Professional design or a large audience cannot by itself establish accuracy. Sponsorship can create an interest to examine without proving a statement false. Use an example from the supplied case and explain the limit in ordinary language.

Problem 21
Answer and explanation
The graph makes 18 versus 2 visually comparable, while prose supplies the group and the uncertainty about the remaining members. An accurate caption says 18 of 20 club members are in the reported favorable count. “Ninety percent of the school improved in reading” changes both the population and outcome and is unsupported.
