What should you do when summarizing information from a source?

  1. Use the same wording as the original

  2. Always use footnotes

  3. Cite the source

  4. Verify the accuracy of the information

The correct answer is: Cite the source

When summarizing information, it is important to give credit to the original source. This is why it is necessary to cite the source. Using the same wording as the original (A) would be considered plagiarism, as you are not giving credit to the source. Always using footnotes (B) may be useful in certain contexts, but is not necessary when summarizing information. While it is important to verify the accuracy of the information (D), this is not the main concern when summarizing. The main concern is properly citing the source.
