What is one strategy to use to determine if a source is credible? (10 points)

Ask a friend if he thinks the information is factual.

Check to see if it provides references and statistics.

Determine that other sources do not provide the same information.

Make sure it allows readers to edit information.

Answer: Hello!

Ah, this is easy!!

(B)Check to see if it provides references and statistics.

One strategy is to do research on the author of the website. Often, somewhere on a particular site with detailed information, there is the name of an author, researching the person to see if they are real and credible is one of the best ways to detect if the source is credible!

Hope this helped you!!

Answer:

Check to see if it provides references and statistics.

Step-by-step explanation:

A friend won't definitely know if the information is factual, so that possibility is ruled out. If other sources don't provide the same information, you can't really be sure as to which source is wrong and if readers' can edit information, you aren't exactly sure what they will input. Therefore, the answer is the second option Check to see if it provides references and statistics.

Hope this helped! :)
