THis is what you responded and my other question is that in the rule it states to use (sic) in the source do i have to put it.If so where would i put it.
Inclusive Language-Quoting from Biased Sources.
(1)The sentence is:
The law from the 1800's mandated that men could buy alcohol and cigarettes only from a state store.
My answer:
No change Since the sentence is about the 1800's, you are correct. Men's and women's equality did not exist then.
(2)The sentence is:
The employee guide indicated that men could add their spouses to their health care plan.
My answer:
The men's guide indicated that men could add their spouses to their health care plan. Change "men" to "employees" and you'll be all set.

If a word is in a quote, and you think it is wrong, put "(sic)" just after the word that is wrong, like these (sic) error.
BobPursley is right. If it's a quotation, you quote it exactly -- make no changes at all -- and then give proper citation about its source in your Works Cited list and at the end of the quotation itself.
Examples are given in these webpages:

Click on "in-text" for the proper form at the end of a sentence.
Click on "works cited page" for the proper ways to list works on what used to be called the bibliography page at the end of your paper.

Scroll down until you find MLA or APA (whichever you're using) in the left column.

... and furthermore if it's a quotation, you don't change it at all -- not one word, not one comma, etc.
