Identify the correct sequence of events from the passage about information literacy.

• A. A, B, C, D
• B. B, D, C, A
• C. D, A, B, C
• D. C, D, A, B

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is the logical order of steps in information literacy. You start by clarifying what information you actually need for the task, because searching without a clear goal can lead to irrelevant results. Once the need is clear, you plan your approach and locate appropriate sources using the right databases, keywords, and strategies. After gathering potential sources, you assess their credibility, relevance, and accuracy to decide which ones are worth using. Finally, you extract and integrate the information into your work and cite the sources properly to give credit and avoid plagiarism. The correct sequence follows this flow: define the information need, then locate sources, then evaluate them, then use and cite. Other sequences stumble if they jump ahead to using information before evaluating sources or skip defining the need at the outset.
