Kentucky Social Studies Standards Practice Test

Which term means a starting point or reference for information?

Source Supply Structure Settlement

Correct Answer:

Source

Explanation:

Think about where information comes from and how you identify its origin. The term that means a starting point or reference for information is Source. A source is anything that provides information—a book, a website, a document, or a person—whose ideas you use as the basis for what you learn or report. It helps you verify facts and shows where the information came from. The other terms describe different ideas: Supply is about the amount of goods available, not where information comes from; Structure refers to how something is organized or built; Settlement is a place where people establish a community. So Source is the best fit for the idea of a starting point or reference for information.
