What is the most effective way to incorporate evidence into a paper?

  1. Quote the entire passage

  2. Relate the evidence to the thesis

  3. Summarize the passage

  4. Cite the source

The correct answer is: Relate the evidence to the thesis

Incorporating evidence into a paper can be done in a variety of ways, but the most effective method is to relate the evidence to the thesis. This means that the evidence should support and strengthen the main argument or idea of the paper. Choosing to quote the entire passage may disrupt the flow of the paper and can be seen as excessive. Summarizing the passage may not provide enough context or detail to fully support the thesis. Citing the source is important, but it does not explicitly link the evidence to the thesis. By relating the evidence to the thesis, the writer is able to clearly demonstrate how the evidence supports their argument and strengthens their overall point.
