They are all right.

But I question number 2's choices. If you're writing a history paper, you wouldn't necessarily want to use recent sources.

Your answers are correct. Here's an explanation for each question:

Question 1: When should you begin choosing appropriate sources for your topic?
The correct answer is "as soon as you have a good working thesis statement." When you have a clear thesis statement, you have a better understanding of what information you need for your essay. This allows you to start looking for appropriate sources to support your thesis.

Question 2: What qualities should you look for in possible sources for your paper?
The correct answer is "sources that are relevant, reliable, and recent." When choosing sources for your paper, it is important to ensure that they are relevant to your topic, reliable in terms of credibility and accuracy, and recent to reflect the most up-to-date information.

Question 3: Why should you take careful notes when you are reading your sources?
The correct answer is "so you can trace information that you want to use back to its original source." Taking careful notes helps you keep track of the information you want to use in your essay and enables you to properly cite and give credit to the original source. It also helps you avoid unintentional plagiarism.
