Question: 1 / 400

What type of composition requires the writer to support their argument with evidence?

Never

For ideas only

For ideas and language

When a writer borrows language from another source, they are directly using the words and phrases from the original source in their own writing. This is generally acceptable as long as the writer properly cites and gives credit to the original source. Option A is incorrect because there are situations where borrowing language is necessary, such as in academic research. Option B is incorrect because the writer must also credit the original source for the ideas they use, not just the language. Option D is incorrect because the writer cannot just take language without also acknowledging where it came from. So, the only correct option is C, as it allows for borrowing both ideas and language with proper credit given.
