The two correct answers that can help you identify a source as biased or not credible are:
-
Emotional language - If a source uses highly emotional language, it may indicate bias as it can attempt to sway the reader's feelings rather than presenting objective information.
-
Spelling errors - Frequent spelling errors can be a sign of a lack of professionalism or care in the publication, which may raise concerns about the credibility of the source.
While "a credible author" and "credentials" are important for assessing credibility, in the context of identifying bias, emotional language and spelling errors are more directly related. "Documented sources" can also indicate credibility but does not necessarily assess bias directly.
