Read the excerpt from “The Oval Portrait,” by Edgar Allan Poe.
The rays of the numerous candles (for there were many) now fell within a niche of the room which had hitherto been thrown into deep shade by one of the bed-posts. I thus saw in vivid light a picture all unnoticed before. It was the portrait of a young girl just ripening into womanhood. I glanced at the painting hurriedly, and then closed my eyes. Why I did this was not at first apparent even to my own perception. But while my lids remained thus shut, I ran over in my mind my reason for so shutting them. It was an impulsive movement to gain time for thought?—to make sure that my vision had not deceived me—to calm and subdue my fancy for a more sober and more certain gaze.

Examine this research question.
What are solutions to homelessness in modern America
Which of the following is the MOST relevant and credible source.
addressing this research question?
The correct answer is option A. “Setting a Path to End All Homelessness.” United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. 2017. 18 Sep. 2017.

On the other hand, this is the most relevant source because it focuses on the same topic as the research which is solutions to homelessness in modern America. So, the correct answer is A.
