Explanation:

1. For the first question, the reliability of sources is what makes evidence credible in writing. Font style, length of quote, and number of syllables have no bearing on credibility.
2. The primary purpose of using evidence in writing is to support arguments, not to make writing longer, meet word - count requirements, or just impress with quotes.
3. Before presenting evidence in writing, providing context helps the reader understand the evidence better. Creating a thesis is an earlier step, finding more sources may not be the immediate step, and analyzing evidence usually comes after presenting it in the flow of writing.
4. Critical thinking is required when selecting evidence for writing as one needs to evaluate the relevance, reliability, and strength of the evidence. Public speaking, creative writing, and speed - reading are not the main skills for evidence selection.

Answer:

1. b. Reliability of sources
2. c. To support arguments
3. d. Providing context
4. b. Critical thinking
