Which of the following is NOT an example of adequate secondary source evidence?

An analysis of a text written by a professor
A review of a book written by an expert
A brief description of a text found on the internet
A personal opinion about a text found on a blog

The correct answer is: A personal opinion about a text found on a blog

Secondary sources are sources that interpret, analyze, or summarize primary sources. They should be reliable and provide evidence that supports a claim. Option A, an analysis written by a professor, is a good example of a secondary source as it is written by an expert in the field. Option B, a review written by an expert, is also a strong secondary source as it provides critical evaluation and analysis. However, option C, a brief description found on the internet, may not be a strong secondary source as it lacks credibility and may not provide enough evidence to support a claim. Option D, a personal opinion on a blog, is the least adequate of the choices as it is not written by an expert and may be biased or lack evidence. Therefore, it is NOT an example of adequate secondary source evidence.
