To determine the credibility and reliability of the article, the following options can be selected:
1. **It is a research article; the information will be reported objectively with sufficient evidence and reference to other authorities.**
(This suggests that the article is based on research and includes evidence, making it credible.)
2. **It is likely that the article was peer-reviewed as it was published in an academic journal.**
(Peer-reviewed articles are typically considered more reliable because they have undergone evaluation by experts in the field before publication.)
The other two options are not strong indicators of credibility:
- **The article was published recently in 2020, so the information will be current and up to date.**
(While recent publication can be a positive factor, it does not necessarily guarantee reliability on its own; the quality of the research also matters.)
- **The authors are not affiliated with a university in the Netherlands.**
(This statement does not provide any evidence of credibility and is not relevant to assessing the reliability of the article.)
Thus, the first two options are the most appropriate selections.
