The answer choice that integrates text evidence MOST effectively is:
Charles Dickens begins his novel with an observation. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
To determine which answer choice integrates text evidence MOST effectively, we should consider which option adequately incorporates the text while also maintaining proper citation and clarity.
The first answer choice includes both the quote and the author's name, Charles Dickens, thus ensuring that both the text evidence and the source are mentioned. However, it does not specify the context in which the quote appears.
The second answer choice includes only the quote itself, without any indication of its source or context.
The third answer choice is the most effective in integrating text evidence for several reasons. It includes the quote, the author's name (Charles Dickens), and clearly establishes that it is an observation from his novel. By mentioning that Charles Dickens begins his novel with this observation, the answer choice provides essential context and properly attributes the quote.
Therefore, the third answer choice, "Charles Dickens begins his novel with an observation. 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,'" integrates text evidence MOST effectively.
