Extremely reliable

Step-by-step explanation:

For question 7, the source is somewhat reliable because in those years a lot of people shared their personal views on different areas, but there was also a lot of false information going around. However, if it is truly a mom talking, her experience should be enriching for the research.

For question 8, the source is unreliable because it has nothing to do with the research and besides, it's only an opinion on a topic, it has nothing to do with its history.

For questions 9 and 10, the sources are from well-known institutions and you can even trace them, so the information is reliable (no one will upload their contact information if they know they are wrong!)
