Answer 1

The correct answer is:

**A. i, ii, iv**

You need to reference a source when:
- i) When the direct words from the source are used (to give credit for the exact wording).
- ii) When a paraphrase of the idea from the source is used (to give credit for the idea, even if it's in your own words).
- iv) When you use an idea from the source (to acknowledge that the idea is not originally yours).

You do not need to reference when using your own original ideas (iii).
