Answer 1

When determining if a source is reliable, you should look for the following characteristics:

1. **It comes from a trustworthy, respected source.**
2. **It is current or recent.**

The other options (containing opinions instead of facts and being at least 100 pages long) do not indicate reliability. In fact, reliance on opinions rather than facts can detract from a source's credibility. The length of a document does not inherently determine its reliability either.
