Questão

You see two short English posts about a local health tip: Post A cites a university study and lists links; Post B has many shares but no sources. In 3–5 sentences, explain which post you would trust more, why, and list two specific online steps you would take to verify the claim.

✍️ Questão dissertativa: veja abaixo a resposta esperada e a explicação.

Resposta esperada

I would trust Post A more because it cites a university study and provides links, which allows readers to check original data and authorship. Post B’s popularity alone does not guarantee accuracy. Two steps I would take: (1) follow the links in Post A to read the original study and check the authors, date, and methodology; (2) search for the same claim on reputable sites (official health agencies or peer-reviewed sources) to confirm consistency.

Explicação

A confiança em informações é baseada na verificação de fontes e evidências. Post A oferece referências que permitem a validação dos dados, enquanto Post B depende apenas de sua popularidade, o que não garante sua veracidade. Verificar a origem e consultar fontes confiáveis são passos essenciais para assegurar a precisão da informação.
