Answer:

Options One, Two, and Five are the correct answers.

Explanation:

Posting on a personal blog is not wrong by itself, but it could also mean that there are no standards for the evidence provided in the blog (it could come from just personal deductions or experiences), and it could also be provided as the one an only truth, turning it into a discardable source.

If the author does not have background or education on the field, he or she cannot talk about something that is very specialized, such as the latest discoveries in cancer treatment, due to the terminology or specific knowledge that is required to understand the complete picture, such as parts of the body or how cells work.

Finally, if the paper is looking for the latest discoveries, the early 1900s is the opposite from what is being required.

Answer:

  • The source is published on a personal blog.
  • The author does not have a background or education in the field.
  • The source is from the early 1900s.

Explanation:

For a research source to be valid it needs to pass credibility and for this, it is necessary that this source has scientific substantiation proven by a professional with academic training in that area, in this way it is perceived that a research source is not reliable if it comes from a personal blog, or a person with no academic background, or academic background in a different area.

In addition, science and technology change over the years. For this reason it is necessary that the search source be recent. A research source 100 years ago is not valid because it has been 100 years of evolution of science and things are very different now.

Answer:

Explanation:

is naked feet warm by the fire, rubbing them at first, of course, with snow. The fire was a success. He was safe. He remembered the advice of the old-timer on Sulphur Creek, and smiled. The old-timer had been very serious in laying down the law that no man must travel alone in the Klondike after fifty below. Well, here he was; he had had the accident; he was alone; and he had saved himself. Those old-timers were rather womanish, some of them, he thought. All a man had to do was to keep his head, and he was all right. Any man who was a man could travel alone. But it was surprising, the rapidity with which his cheeks and nose were freezing. And he had not thought his fingers could go lifeless in so short a time. Lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him.
