When writing an essay, how should quotes and paraphrases be credited?

Provide a short description of the source
Cite the original source in the text
Provide a bibliography
Present the source's author in the introduction

The correct answer is: Cite the original source in the text

When writing an essay, quotes and paraphrases should be credited by citing the original source in the text. Options A, C, and D are incorrect for several reasons. Option A, providing a short description of the source, does not sufficiently credit the original source and may be considered plagiarism. Option C, providing a bibliography, is not enough on its own as quotes and paraphrases need to be cited in-text as well. Option D, presenting the source's author in the introduction, also does not adequately credit the original source and may be confusing for readers. Therefore, the best way to properly credit quotes and paraphrases is by citing the original source in the text, as stated in option B.
