Answer:

It is not possible to determine if the site is trustworthy, because no link is provided. However, here are some basic guidelines for you to do it on your own with this and any other website.

Explanation:

Whenever we conduct internet research, there are some basic aspects that must be considered to determine the source's trustworthiness:

Autorship - The author of the text must be clearly mentioned and be someone qualified to discuss the subject, such as a scholar or an experienced person in the field. Most of the times, contact information is provided.

Domain - The kind of domain for the website can also determine reliability. .edu, .gov, and .org are used for educational, government, and non-profit organizations, respectively. Suchs domains will contain more reliable information than a .com or .co site, which are for commercial use.

Purpose and audience - A trustworthy source of information clearly states who is their target audience and what is the purpose for addressing certain topics. This might be determined by the language used and the content itself.

If there is sponsorship or clear intention of selling a product, the author may be biased. The same can be said if there are pop-up windows that direct to a commercial external website or in-page advertisement.

Objectivity - Reliable information has to be presented in an objective and unbiased manner, refering to facts and evidence, and presenting all sides of the matter without pushing for a forced conclusion on the reader's side.}

If there are any personal opinions presented, they must be clearly stated as that, without mixing them with the main body of the text.

Accuracy - The information must be properly written, using correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling, and using an appropriate vocabulary to the intended audience.

The information must be clearly sourced and be easily corroborated.

Updated (and dated) - Trustworthy information relies on constant updates from the authors, based on the latest research or debate on the topic in hand. All pieces of writing have to be clearly dated, so the information can be verified and crossexamined with other sources.

Answer:

serious

Explanation:

On taking this station on a former occasion, I declared the principles on which I believed it my duty to administer the affairs of our commonwealth. My conscience tells me that I have, on every occasion, acted up to that declaration, according to its obvious import, and to the understanding of every candid mind.

In the transaction of your foreign affairs, we have endeavored to cultivate the friendship of all nations, and especially of those with which we have the most important relations. We have done them justice on all occasions, favored where favor was lawful, and cherished mutual interests and intercourse on fair and equal terms. We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations, as with individuals, our interests soundly calculated, will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties.
