Question

which two sources would be reliable options for a research paper?

• a paper written by another middle school student who doesnt use other sources
• a book written in the 1980s that describes advances in technology
• a journal article written by an expert on a topic who is respected by other experts
• a government website that offers many resources on the topic
• a blog post that contains a clearly biased point of view on the topic

Explanation:

A journal article by an expert respected in the field is reliable due to peer - review and expertise. Government websites often offer accurate and up - to - date information as they are official sources. A middle school student's non - sourced paper may lack credibility, an old book on technology may be outdated, and a biased blog post is not reliable.

Answer:

• a journal article written by an expert on a topic who is respected by other experts
• a government website that offers many resources on the topic
