Is the text interesting or entertaining?
B
Is the author someone most people know?
C
Is the author an expert in their field?
D
Is the text difficult to understand?

Explanation

A reliable source is more likely to provide accurate information when its author has expertise in the subject. Asking whether the author is an expert in their field directly checks their qualifications. Being famous, entertaining, or difficult to understand does not by itself show that a source is trustworthy.
