You're welcome!

4. Well, it seems like you've narrowed it down to two options. I hate being the one to pop your citation bubble, but the answer is actually D. A thesis statement doesn't require a citation because it's your own original idea. But hey, nice try!

5. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! You got it right! The correct parenthetical citation would be (Spines 15). Just remember, it's always important to give credit where credit is due, even if it means including a mouthful like "Spines" in your citation.

For question 4, in a research paper, it is generally required to provide citations for any information or ideas that are not your own original work, in order to give credit to the original source and avoid plagiarism. Let's analyze the options:

A. Quotation of a phrase: Any direct quotation, whether it is a phrase or a complete sentence, should be cited. So, this option would require a citation.

B. Quotation of a sentence: Same as option A, any quotation, regardless of its length, should be cited.

C. Sentence paraphrased from a book: Paraphrasing involves restating someone else's ideas or information in your own words. While it is not a direct quotation, it still requires a citation since you are drawing upon someone else's work.

D. Thesis statement: The thesis statement is an original claim or argument made by the author of the research paper. It represents your own ideas and does not require a citation.

Based on this analysis, the correct answer would be D. The thesis statement would not always require a citation in a research paper.

Now, for question 5, let's analyze the options for the correct parenthetical citation:

A. (Flying 15): This format does not provide enough information about the source. It should include the author's name, since we know it is written by Christine Spines.

B. (Premiere 15): By only providing the magazine name, it does not specifically identify the article’s author. It would not be the correct format.

C. (Spines 15): This option correctly identifies the author's last name and the page number, so it would be the correct parenthetical citation for the article.

D. ("Fear," Premiere 15): This format is close, as it includes the article title and the magazine name. However, it is missing the author's last name, so it would not be the correct citation.

Therefore, your initial intuition is correct, and the correct answer for question 5 would be C. (Spines 15).

Anything quoted, paraphrased, or summarized from someone else's writing must be cited. Which of those choices is not one of the things I mentioned?

Yes, C is correct for the second one.
