Relevance is crucial when determining what sources to use as it helps you stay narrowed in on research relevant to your thesis statement. It can be easy to find a good quote related to your thesis within a larger source, but if the main takeaways of that source don't relate, you probably haven't picked the strongest source. Examining the intended audience of a source is a great way to do this because in the inquiry paper we are also looking at focusing on a specific audience. If a source has a completely different audience than what we are focusing on, the content may be invaluable or it needs to be utilized in a way that doesn't directly quote it but only assists the argument indirectly.
