When information is reasonable, clear, logical and usually supported by facts, it is described as what?

• A. Reliable
• B. Sound
• C. Valid
• D. Accurate

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how well information hangs together logically and is backed by evidence. When something is reasonable, clear, and logical and supported by facts, it demonstrates valid reasoning—the conclusion follows from the premises in a defensible, coherent way. This is about the structure of the argument and its support, not just truth of every fact. It differs from reliability (consistency over time), accuracy (truth of facts), and soundness (valid reasoning plus true premises), so the description fits validity.
