B. by paraphrasing
C. by avoiding plagiarism
D. by gathering information from a variety of sources

Answer 1

A. by use a citation

Using a citation is the proper way to indicate that a section of writing has come from a different source. Citations give credit to the original author and help the reader locate the source material.

Answer 2

are you sure this is correct

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The correct answer is **A. by use a citation**.

Citing provides clear evidence that a portion of the writing is derived from another source, giving proper credit to the original author and allowing readers to track the source of the information. This is a standard practice in academic and professional writing to avoid plagiarism and to maintain scholarly integrity.

While paraphrasing (B) and gathering information from a variety of sources (D) can also contribute to writing, they do not explicitly show that a particular section came from a different source. Avoiding plagiarism (C) is a broader goal that encompasses proper citation but does not specifically indicate the source of a section.
