If information seems true but the source is unclear, what is the responsible step?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Check before sharing
Information that sounds believable can still be incomplete, altered, or false. Before sharing, the student should identify the source, check the date and context, compare it with reliable information, and avoid forwarding it if it cannot be confirmed. This reduces misinformation and unnecessary fear. Forwarding unread content, exposing a password, or frightening people is not responsible digital behaviour.
