Answer
A
a journal entry written by a professor who is considered an expert
B
a report written by an independent government source
C
a presentation by a company that includes paid information
D
a document published by a renowned organization
E
a scientific paper put out by a non-profit organization
F
a blog whose author tries to sell a product or service

Explanation

Strong research sources are generally written by knowledgeable experts or published by reputable, independent organizations. A professor’s journal entry, an independent government report, a document from a renowned organization, and a scientific paper from a non-profit organization can all provide useful evidence. A company presentation containing paid information and a blog promoting a product may be biased by commercial interests, so they are less reliable sources.
