BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When evaluating challenges to accessing and using information as described in the video segment, we consider what makes information literacy difficult in real-world study contexts.
Option 1: "It's difficult to compare reliability of one source with that of another". This is a core challenge in information literacy because sources vary widely in credibility, authority, bias, and evidence quality, making cross-source comparison nontrivial. Students must assess methodology, date, and provenance to judge trustworthiness.
Option 2: "It's easy to waste time". While not a direct barrier to access, time management is a practical challenge when navigating information online. People may spend excessive time sifting through results, evaluating sources, or chasing irrelevant leads, which impedes efficient information use.
Option 3: "There are so many useless websites". This statement describes a perception of abundance, but calling websites "useless" is overly simplistic. The real issue is not just quantity but the ability to filter, assess relevance, and determine credibility; labeling many sites as useless overlooks how learners can still extract reliable information with proper appraisal.
Option 4: "It's so boring". Engagement level is a factor in information seeking, but it’s not typically framed as a fundamental challenge to accessing and using information in the literacy sense. Boredom can affect motivation, but the core literacy challenges focus on evaluating reliability, relevance, and efficient use rather than subjective emotional states.
In summary, the two accurate challenges highlighted here align with core information-literacy hurdles: comparing reliability across sources and managing time effectively during information-seeking tasks, while the remaining statements reflect less central or mischaracterized aspects of the difficulty.
