How should sources be used when writing an essay?

Include as many sources as possible
Incorporate source material without attribution
Use sources to support the writer’s own ideas
Copy sentences and paragraphs verbatim from sources

The correct answer is: Use sources to support the writer’s own ideas

It is incorrect to include as many sources as possible because the quality of sources is more important than the quantity. Incorporating source material without attribution is also incorrect because it is considered plagiarism and can result in serious consequences. Similarly, copying sentences and paragraphs verbatim from sources is also considered plagiarism and should be avoided. Option C, using sources to support the writer's own ideas, is the correct approach as it shows that the writer has thoroughly researched and understood the topic and is using sources to enhance their own argument or analysis.
