How can the reliability of an online source be assessed?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By checking the author, publisher or website, and publication or update date
A source should be examined for its author or organisation, publisher or website, date, supporting evidence, purpose, and agreement with reliable independent information. A headline alone may be designed to attract attention and may not represent the full content. Accepting or forwarding unverified claims is unsafe, so option A gives the appropriate evaluation method.
