2.) It provides information that is interesting or fun.

3.) It is older and more well known than other sources.

4.) It is complicated and often difficult to understand.

Answer 1

A. It is believed to be factual or true by most people

Answer 2

When taking information or references from an Online Source, it is really difficult to know which site to trust, but the most effective way to make sure that the information is valid is by assuring that:

1.) It is believed to be factual or true by most people.

The other options of being fun, being well-known, being older than other sites, or being complicated to understand, do not add credibility to a site.
