Where should a writer look for sources of information?

1. Scholarly databases

2. Personal experiences

3. Popular magazines

4. Unofficial websites

The correct answer is: Scholarly databases

A writer should look for sources of information in scholarly databases because they contain credible and reliable information from experts in various fields. Personal experiences may offer insights but may lack evidence and objectivity. Popular magazines may have interesting articles but may not always provide accurate and in-depth information. Unofficial websites may have biased or false information, which can harm the credibility of the writer's work. Therefore, scholarly databases are the best choice for obtaining reliable and authoritative sources of information.
