Which other sources can be researched when conducting background inquiries?

  1. Only public databases

  2. Bankruptcy records, divorce records, land registry databases, and corporate searches

  3. Social media contacts only

  4. Retail purchase history

The correct answer is: Bankruptcy records, divorce records, land registry databases, and corporate searches

Answer In order to perform thorough and accurate background inquiries, it is important to utilize multiple sources of information. While option B may seem like a comprehensive list of sources, it is not the only available option. Public databases, while a good starting point, may not always contain the most up-to-date or complete information. Choosing option A as the only source could result in missing important details. As for options C and D, social media contacts and retail purchase history may provide some insight, but they should not be relied on as the sole source of information. For a more well-rounded background inquiry, option B provides a diverse set of sources to research.
