Question

Simon is researching George Washington.

Which source would not be credible?

an interview with a historian on artifacts from George Washington
a blog post by a woman claiming to be a distant relative of George Washington
a news article celebrating George Washington’s accomplishments
a biographical piece in a history magazine highlighting George Washington’s career

Answer 1

The blog post by a woman claiming to be a distant relative of George Washington.

Reason: personal blogs and genealogical claims often lack independent verification, expert credentials, citations, or editorial review and can be biased. Verify such claims by checking author credentials, sources/citations, and cross-checking with reputable archives, scholarly works, or primary documents.
