4-3 Quoting, Paraphrasing and Summarizing – Quiz Act i vi t y1:Quot i ng 1. Which of the following is properly quoted from the original source material? Original passage, excerpted from page 23

Answer (B)

A number of American business people are sharing their business expertise via books. Among them are Jack Welch, Lee Iacocca, and Max DePree. Reading their books helps us "begin taking the crucial step of trusting each other" (DePree 23). Correct. The answer is b. When using the exact words of a published author, the writer must indicate that those words are being quoted. The incorrect quotation has no quotation marks, suggesting that the thought belongs to the researcher and not the original author

2. Which of the following is properly quoted from the original source material? Original passage, excerpted from page 45

Answer (A) Those who supervise others—whether informally or on the job—must be aware of two things. First is the distaste your employee/children/committee members/student may be experiencing in relation to the task before them. Learning how much they are "chafing" is the first step (Dichter 45). Correct. The answer is a. The word "chafing" is an unusual one to be used in this context. The original and somewhat creative use of this word, in this verbal setting, deserves to be acknowledged. Because the incorrect passage has no quotation marks around the word, the reader is led to believe that the combination of "chafing" and employee dissatisfaction is an idea belonging to the writer of the research paper.

3. Which of the following is properly quoted from the original source material? Original passage, excerpted from page 17

Answer (B) Rapitis reports that a small but significant study was done on 13 people aged 55–64. Each had recently been given a diagnosis of a mild problem regarding high blood pressure. Participants averaged readings of 153/84. For a full two-week period, "they ate a 100-gram candy bar and were asked to balance its 480 calories by not eating other foods similar in nutrients and calories" (Rapitis 17).

Correct. The answer is b. Both the quotation marks and the citation are missing from the incorrect passage. When the wording is used verbatim, the writer has a serious obligation to acknowledge the words of the original author by using quotation marks and a citation in the form of a page reference.

1. Which of the following is properly paraphrased from the original source material? Original passage, excerpted from page 12

Answer (A) According to Mark Zupan, the Dean of the Simon School and professor of economics and public policy, the BP spill will probably affect both liability laws and regulations. Zupan warns that if companies are not held liable for costs, they could face even more serious consequences. Companies will hold themselves accountable for the liability limits, which are currently capped at $75 million for oil spills (Zupan 12). Correct. The answer is a. The incorrect paraphrase uses a quotation, which is unnecessary in a paraphrase. In addition, the final in-text citation in the incorrect paraphrase is missing the page number. 2. Which of the following is properly paraphrased from the original source material? Original passage, excerpted from page 141

Answer (B) The controversial ethical issue of euthanasia is more complicated than whether or not you are killing a person. One must understand that there are different types of euthanasia, and that each type has its own set of moral arguments. For example, you can be in favor of passive euthanasia, which is when no one actively attempts to prevent a person's death, simply allowing a natural death to occur. But that would not mean that you support active euthanasia, which is when steps are taken to cause someone's death, such as when a person chooses to die on their own terms rather than continue to suffer a terminal illness (Hinman 141). Correct. The answer is a. The incorrect paraphrase borrows the original author's exact phrasing for the definitions of passive euthanasia and active euthanasia without using quotation marks to indicate that they are direct quotes. The final in-text citation is also missing the page number.

3. Which of the following is properly paraphrased from the original source material? Original passage, excerpted from page 1

Answer (B) Smith's interviews with anti-vaccine activists reveal that the movement is attempting to downplay the dangerousness of measles. Unfortunately, 2014 saw an increasing number of confirmed measles cases in the United States: 644 infections in 27 separate states, when normally the number would be less than 100 a year—at least, so it has been ever since vaccinations were introduced (Smith 1). Correct. The answer is b. The incorrect paraphrase uses language that is taken directly from the original passage and should be a quotation (or else it would qualify as plagiarism). It also uses information that does not seem to be necessary or relevant to the meaning of the paraphrase, such as the identity of the pediatrician whom the original article quotes.
