Explanation:

• Question 25: Context is crucial in creating text meaning. It provides the background, setting, and relationships among elements that help interpret words and phrases. For example, the word "bank" can mean a financial institution or the side of a river depending on the context. Source details and publication date relate more to the credibility and origin of the text rather than its meaning. Word selection is part of constructing text but without context, the full meaning may not be clear.
• Question 26: The source of evidence is what makes it credible. A reliable source, such as a peer - reviewed academic journal or a well - respected news outlet with fact - checking processes, adds weight to the evidence. Length, publication date (unless in a very time - sensitive field like some scientific research), and writing style do not inherently make evidence credible.
• Question 27: Credible sources make information in non - fiction trustworthy. Just as with evidence (in question 26), if the information comes from a source that is known for accuracy, expertise, and lack of bias, the non - fiction text is more likely to be trustworthy. Font style, length of text, and author's age have no direct bearing on the trustworthiness of non - fiction information.
