Ja'Kobi Moore uses TikTok to….

• share restaurant reviews

Young people today tend to...

• watch TikTok videos returned by Google search results

• search on TikTok first and then confirm their results on Google

• rely on Youtube shorts to find local businesses

• look for information on TikTok or Instagram

One way searching on TikTok is different from Google is…

• Google search results are often too brief to share important information.

• TikTok search results are fact-checked within the app.

• TikTok search results are more responsive to individuals.

• Google search results require users to watch more videos.

Young people feel that TikTok allows them to…

• write comments reviewing information.

• find information faster.

• share exciting content.

• identify sources of misinformation.

"Then they verify the veracity of a suggestion based on comments posted in response to the videos."

According to the passage, what does veracity mean?

• how searching on the web works

• to find out if information is accurate/truthful

• to eagerly approach a challenge

• the seriousness of information
