To avoid plagiarizing a source you want to use in writing a paper, you can select the following options:

  1. Making sure to cite the source accurately - This helps acknowledge the original author and provides the necessary credit.

  2. Either paraphrasing or directly quoting the text with a citation - Both methods allow you to incorporate the original ideas while giving proper attribution.

The other options (by quoting the source in full and by finding an additional source with a competing point of view) may not necessarily help in avoiding plagiarism. Quoting in full without citation can be considered plagiarism if proper attribution is not given, and finding additional sources does not address the original issue of crediting the initial source.

Therefore, the correct responses are:

  • Making sure to cite the source accurately
  • Either paraphrasing or directly quoting the text with a citation
