Practice Questions

1. Is a vegetarian diet healthier than a meat-based diet? 
• Medical journals would be the most useful source for questions about a diet's positive and negative effects.

• I would use an encyclopedia of social studies to find what out what exactly the definition of censorship is as it could have many perspectives.

• Statistical reference books or web sites would be the best place to find that kind of comparative data or statistics.

• I would check newspapers for popular opinion and then consult and academic encyclopedia for background info. 
5. Is the current lack of sunspot activity affecting global warming? 
• Scientific journals would be the most helpful with regard to new findings in the scientific community and then perhaps websites for environmental activists for their perspective.
