Answer 3

Writers should use citations in their work in the following two situations:

1. When paraphrasing someone else's ideas.
2. When using a direct quote from a source.

Citing sources in these situations acknowledges the original source of the ideas, whether they are paraphrased or quoted directly. Common knowledge does not require citation, and using parentheses or mentioning another writer's name doesn't necessarily require a citation unless it is accompanied by ideas or content that are not common knowledge.
