When you use the Internet to help you do your research, an established website site or search engine is ___________.

• A. An electronic site with an accompanying address that helps you search for specific information.
• B. A blog without author information.
• C. A video sharing site.
• D. A social media page.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is recognizing what a traditional, reliable source for research does: it helps you locate specific information on the Internet. An established website or search engine is an electronic site with a known address (a URL) that is designed to find and retrieve information in response to a query. You enter keywords, and the system searches its indexed pages to return relevant results. This distinguishes it from other types of sites that host content without focused search functionality—like blogs that present posts from authors, video sites that primarily host and stream videos, or social media pages that center on user-generated posts and interactions. So the description that matches an electronic site with an address that helps you search for specific information best captures what a search engine or established website is.
