01 A speaker cites a source for data, but the source is outdated and unrelated to the current situation. What should the listener do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Check the source's relevance and timeliness
Explanation: The governing concept is source evaluation and data literacy. A citation does not automatically make a claim reliable; the listener must check whether the source addresses the present question and whether its information is current enough for the situation. Therefore option D is correct. Accepting the claim merely because a source exists ignores quality, memorising the name provides no evaluation, and judging the voice is unrelated to evidence validity.
