Answer 2

Answer:

Both can be used to determine the accuracy of a piece of information.

Explanation:

Fact-checking is a method used to verify the veracity and correctness of the facts presented in a text. This may be done either by consulting the sources provided by the text itself (if any), or the reader might opt to find other sources regarding the text's topic.

Cross-checking refers to a similar practice, but this one only refers to the consultation of sources secondary to the text in question.

Both methods aim to verify the acccuracy of a piece of information.
