What is the purpose of integrating sources?

  1. To add to the length of the text

  2. To support the writer’s opinion

  3. To emphasize the argument

  4. To provide evidence for the topic

The correct answer is: To provide evidence for the topic

Integrating sources serves the purpose of providing evidence for the topic of the text. This means using information from outside sources to support the writer's claims or arguments. Option A is incorrect because simply adding more information does not necessarily make the text stronger or more effective. Option B is incorrect because the purpose of integrating sources is not solely to support the writer's opinion, but rather to strengthen their argument with evidence. Option C is incorrect because while integrating sources may help emphasize the argument, this is not the sole purpose. Option D is the most correct answer as it accurately describes the main purpose of integrating sources.
