What does it mean for a source to be reliable?(1 point)

English

Answer:

Explanation:

1) It is trustworthy

If a source is reliable, it means that it does not contain false information, and that if there are opinions in the piece, they are clearly indicated to be opinions rather than disguising opinions as facts.

2) A survey of eight professional athletic organizations

When it comes to an opinion versus a survey, a survey typically collects more diverse and therefore more reliable info. Basketball players and baseball coaches are surely great at their respective sports, but they are not professional, and neither are the physed teachers.

3) A story about a teenager (...)

All of the other choices are studies, surveys, and interviews with professionals, so this single answer choice not including any research is a red flag.

4) It is trying to sell a product

Let's say a snack company is trying to sell their very sugary cookies. They might create an article claiming that these unhealthy snacks are 'good for athletes' and help their performance. These supposed facts cannot be backed up by anyone, nor are they even true! Therefore, any article with a goal to sell a product should not be trusted as unbiased.

Hello,

Alchen [17]

Answer:

I frequently text my friends on my mobile phone, but I'm not like some people who always use their phones, even when they go out with friends. I am using it at the moment because I am revising with some friends tomorrow (our exams start on Monday) and we are trying to decide where to meet. Texting helps you organise your life, but shouldn't dominate it.

Explanation:

The different tenses in Grammar refer to the use of the verbs in a certain way that will help specify the 'time' of the event. In other words, tenses help us understand the events, whether it is in the past, present, or the future.

In the given blanks, the use of the verbs in parenthesis will be based on the structure of the words. And by using either the simple present or the continuous form, we can understand what events/verbs are done frequently or things we do all the time, or occurring at the same time it is talked about.

The verbs in parenthesis are changed in the present simple or continuous form as follows-
