Answer 5

is the last answer correct or incorrect?

Answer 6

My apologies for the confusion. The last answer is incorrect. I apologize for the incorrect information. A source that is reputable or well-known is indeed a characteristic that makes a source credible. However, the characteristic of being peer-reviewed or published in a scholarly journal is not applicable to all types of sources, so it is not a universally applicable characteristic for determining credibility. Thank you for pointing out the error, and I apologize for any confusion caused.

Answer 7

The 2021 illustrated essay by an English professor about the literary connection between today's graphic novels and medieval illustrated manuscripts is the best source to use. This source is more recent and written by an expert in the field, making it more credible than the other options.
