Answer to #1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) You can often maximize the impact of secondary material in your own writing by paraphrasing it: restating it in your own words and with your own sentence structures. Paraphrasing helps you maintain consistent tone while using vocabulary that's familiar to your audience. Of course, you still need to credit the originator of the information, but you don't need quotation marks or indented paragraphs.

Answer to #2

Answer: B
Explanation: B) You can often maximize the impact of secondary material in your own writing by paraphrasing it: restating it in your own words and with your own sentence structures. Paraphrasing helps you maintain consistent tone while using vocabulary that's familiar to your audience. Of course, you still need to credit the originator of the information, but you don't need quotation marks or indented paragraphs.

Answer to #3

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original by leaving out details, examples, and less important information. Like quotations and paraphrases, summaries also require complete documentation of sources. Summarizing is not always a simple task, and your audience will judge your ability to separate significant issues from less significant details.

Answer to #4

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Quoting a source means you reproduce the material exactly as you found it (giving full credit to the source, of course). Use direct quotations when the original language will enhance your argument or when rewording the passage would reduce its impact.

Answer to #5

Answer: B
Explanation: B) You probably won't have time to conduct a thorough background check on all your sources, so focus your efforts on the most important or most suspicious pieces of information. And if you can't verify critical facts or figures, be sure to let your readers know that. After you've collected and verified your data and information, the next step is to transform this raw material into the specific content you need. This step can involve quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing textual material; drawing conclusions; and making recommendations.

Answer to #6

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Does the source have a reputation for honesty and reliability? Try to find out how the source accepts articles and whether it has an editorial board, conducts peer reviews, or follows fact-checking procedures.

Answer to #7

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Is the source potentially biased? To interpret an organization's information, you need to know its point of view.
