While researching spiders, you locate a website called The Truth about Tarantulas. The author provides the following introduction. What is the most logical conclusion you can make about the credibility of this source?

I hate tarantulas. They are very scary spiders. My cousin had one the size of a CD. I think it's their hair that makes them extra creepy. Tarantulas spend most of their time hiding when they are not hunting. Both of those habits make me nervous. Here are eight facts—one for each leg on the poisonous little monsters.

The author has created this website to inform, so the facts the website provides should be reliable.

The author hates tarantulas so the information the website provides may be biased against them.

The author uses the word truth in the website title, so the information should be credible.

The author has encountered a tarantula before and thus knows more than the average person.

While researching spiders, you locate a website called Tarantu-love! The author provides the following introduction. What is the most logical conclusion you can make about the credibility of this source?

Welcome to Tarantu-love! Your source of spider-info since 2010! This week's Tarantula Tidbit: Although many people believe tarantulas to be dangerous, research in Wildlife Weekly magazine proved their venom was weaker than that of the typical bee! Want to learn more? Select a link from the menu to take a virtual tour of the Jackson Zoo's Tarantula Terrarium, to view a list of recommended books from biologists, or to submit a question to an expert from the Albertville Arachnid Association.

The site has an agenda and wants to sell tickets to the zoo.

The site provides a menu of useful links. This should be a good source of objective information.

The title of the site is Tarantu-love. This silly title proves that it is not a serious website.

The year in which the website was started suggests that the information is likely outdated.
