Question 4 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

What is the most ethical and responsible way for Ali to proceed?

Answer
A
He should use the information from the blog post in his paper without citing it.
B
He should copy and paste only the content with citations directly into his paper.
C
He should paraphrase the information and provide a link to a similar blog post.
D
He should verify the information and paraphrase it in his paper citing the blog post.

Explanation

Ali should first check whether the blog post’s information is accurate and reliable, then put the information in his own words and cite the post as his source. This gives credit to the author and avoids presenting unverified claims as fact. Copying text directly, as in B, risks plagiarism even if citations are included, while C links to a similar post rather than the source he used.
