Answer 1

Criteria to know the credibility of a source:-a) Accuracy :-we should verify the information that is known to us with the information written in the website.

b) By making sure that the source is written by a trustworthy author.

c) Check whether the source is up to date or not.

These are the criterias I will use.

Authorative sources:-WHO is the most important. US FDA website is another. CDC is the other most important source.

All these websites are controlled by trustworthy professionals and they are always up-to-date.
