Final assessment: find evidence that answers

Five new-context objective items and a written search plan test scoping, queries and source tracing.

All scenarios are fictional and need no industry knowledge. Answer independently before viewing explanations. Written work is not automatically scored.

1. Can you take a bicycle on a ferry this Saturday? Which question best starts the search? Which city has the best transport? Is cycle tourism popular? What bicycle rules apply to this route, date and sailing?

2. Broad keywords return many news stories when you need a known report title. What next? Quote the exact title and add its publisher Append authoritative to every result Remove the object and topic

3. News claims a building saves 25% energy. Before citing it, what matters most? How many accounts reposted it The original test baseline, period and measurement method How striking the headline is

4. A quoted sentence plus domain, PDF and recent-date filters finds no archive record. What next? Declare the record nonexistent Cite an arbitrary snippet Relax filters gradually, change terms and inspect the archive catalog

5. Four sites repeat one interview; an original survey differs. How should you organize them? Four votes beat one Mark the shared interview origin and compare survey question and sample Any disagreement makes everything useless

Integrated search plan

You plan a museum visit next month and need a loaned audio-guide device in a particular language. An old blog says devices exist; a recent comment says only a phone app is available. Write the question, two queries, preferred channels, conflict checks and unresolved report fields. Do not invent findings.
