Question 4...

Kathy Evans doesn't give language arts, reading, or math tests to her second graders. I don't see the need for them, she argues. I have particular things I want to see in their work, and I collect language arts writing papers from them every day, I score reading seatwork assignments at least three days a week, and I score every one of their math papers to see if what I'm looking for is there. I have plenty of information to use in assigning grades. Based on this information, which of the following is the most accurate statement?
 
  a. Her assessments are likely to be both valid and reliable.
  b. Her assessments are likely to be valid but not reliable.
  c. Her assessments are likely to be reliable but not valid.
