Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) 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 consistent tone while using vocabulary that's familiar to your audience. Of course, you still need to credit the originator of the information, but you don't need quotation marks or indented paragraphs.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original by leaving out details, examples, and less important information. Like quotations and paraphrases, summaries also require complete documentation of sources. Summarizing is not always a simple task, and your audience will judge your ability to separate significant issues from less significant details.
