To identify a source as biased or not credible, the two correct answers are:

  1. Emotional language - This can indicate bias, as it often aims to provoke a strong emotional response rather than provide objective information.

  2. Spelling errors - Frequent spelling errors can undermine the credibility of a source, as they may suggest a lack of professionalism or care in the publication.

While having a credible author and proper credentials can also be factors in assessing credibility, they do not specifically indicate bias. Documented sources can be credible or biased depending on the context.
