Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) You can often maximize the impact of secondary material in your own writing by paraphrasing it, restating it in your own words and with your own sentence structures. Paraphrasing helps you maintain a consistent tone while using vocabulary familiar to your audience. Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Information from a source with a particular point of view isn't necessarily bad, of course, but knowing this context is always helpful and sometimes essential for interpreting the information correctly.
