The information resource that I would prefer to use would be the information resource number 1. This is
because it is a scholarly journal. First of all it is already both required a peer reviewed and depicts a full
abstract of the information resource which gives good insights of the resource to use. From evaluating
resource 1, it definitely addresses and covers the topic as well. It is also clarified with supported evidence
and references listed along with related information to use. Resource 2 is very suitable to use for research
use because it is reliable, verified and supported with various related information.
