Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: This is not sufficient information for an Internet site.
Rationale 2: This is important information, but the date retrieved should also be included.
Rationale 3: The date the information was retrieved from the Web is more important than the date it was placed on the Web.
Rationale 4: For information obtained from the Web, the date when the material was viewed as well as its location on the Web should be provided.
