4. "I ican iuse isoftware iapplications isuch ias iword iprocessing, ispreadsheets, iand ipresentations."
Correct iAnswer: i1
Rationale i1: iInformation iliteracy inecessitates ithat inurses ihave ithe iability ito ifind, ievaluate, iand
ieffectively iuse i information. iThe iother ianswers iare i examples iof icomputer i literacy i but ido inot ihave
