Day three's tutorial task

My Task:

Answer these questions without using wikipedia or google. Try some different search engine sources. Write a post in your blog with the answers, and include the source of the information.

How do you know that the place you got the answer is accurate? For many of the questions, I can't verify the information as I don't have much information on the source. However, it helps to check if it has been site, if the article has a listed author, if the site has full contact details and any offical affiliations. I would normally use academic journals or sites that have been academically cited. Usually I access these through databases etc.
