You are researching westward expansion to california. your first internet search brings up too many unrelated topics. how can you narrow your search? a. search each word separately b. put quotation marks around the exact phrase c. first search on westward expansion, then on california, and see what sites come up on both searches d. add the word "narrow" to your search

Option b. In order to narrow your search you should put quotation marks around the exact phrase.

Explanation:

When researching a topic, phrase or concept online, it is easy to get an abundance of search results that do not link to the topic you initially wanted to research. This is because the search engines are probably giving you all of the results it finds with every of the phrase you typed in, instead of looking for the phrase as a whole and not every word in a separated way. A solution for this issue is to put quotation marks around the exact phrase, in this case it would be "Westward Expansion to California", putting quotation marks around the phrase you are researching will return only those exact words in that exact order instead of giving you results for every word separately.
