Why should a writer include a works cited page in a research paper? Choose three correct answers.

A works cited page organizes the sources used in a paper and directs readers to the original sources so they can find and check the information. It also gives credit to the authors whose work was used, helping the writer avoid plagiarism. Criticizing opposing viewpoints and summarizing ideas are tasks for the paper itself, not purposes of the works cited page.
