Which of the following sources is not a credible one for a college composition essay?

  1. scholarly journal

  2. library book

  3. an online blog

  4. newspaper

The correct answer is: an online blog

Scholarly journals and library books are both credible sources for a college composition essay because they are written and published by experts in the field and have gone through a rigorous peer-review process. Newspapers, while sometimes reliable, may not always provide the most up-to-date or accurate information. Online blogs, on the other hand, are not considered credible sources for academic writing because they are often written by individuals without expertise or proper research methods. The information presented in blogs may not be supported by evidence and could potentially be biased or incorrect. Therefore, option C, an online blog, is not a credible source for a college composition essay.
