00:05

by the reign of terror Enjoy it More All right

00:11

check the following passage Scarlet pimpernel family barry Like historical

00:19

scholarship Creation now fish that's a mammal is really smart

00:29

all right we don't We're done Which of the following

00:31

would be the best source of information about the french

00:34

revolution and the reign of terror and hear the potential

00:38

in Okay well this one's pretty straight forward All we

00:41

have to do is figure out which of these sources

00:43

is the most legit and we need to cross out

00:45

choice a fast before any of our college professors catch

00:48

us even considering it Wikipedia and they have good intentions

00:52

but we never know if the article were reading is

00:53

written by a super genius are a troll We apologize

00:57

if that statement offended any super genius trolls out there

01:00

but well you know we do the best we can

01:02

All right choice D isn't the best answer either No

01:04

doubt some websites can be reliable sources like oh say

01:08

schmuck like we actually have phds who writes this stuff

01:12

but this answer option doesn't specify what kind of website

01:14

we're talking about You can find lots of great information

01:17

about anything you want to know on the internet but

01:19

sometimes you've got to navigate a jungle a nonsense to

01:22

find Anything that's actually accurate option c looks really good

01:26

A scholarly article is about as reliable as it gets

01:30

unless the scholar in the herd of editors that pre

01:33

v article are totally incompetent This kind of publication is

01:37

usually a great source for any essay Oh but wait

01:40

Choice b manages to top option c rather than one

01:44

little article choice Be breaks out a whole book which

01:46

has a lot of room for more detailed information while

01:50

more information than just one measly article He also specifies

01:54

that the book is written by an expert on the

01:56

french revolution and the reign of terror So we know

01:59

this book is going to be about as accurate as

02:01

possible So even though choice see is decent we're gonna

02:04

have to put it on the chopping block Or should 00:02:06.758 --> [endTime] we say guillotine oh your head over
