In academic writing, it is acceptable to significantly change the language and sentence structure of a passage found in a source, and not cite the source.
A. TRUE, whenever you make changes to language and sentence structure, the information becomes your own intellectual property and you can use the information in all your assignments
B. FALSE, whenever you use information from a source, just make sure you mention the name and surname of the author at least once in the text, preferably close to the information from the source.
C. FALSE, whenever you use information from a source, irrespective of making language changes by paraphrasing, you need to include a text reference and the corresponding reference list entry.
D. TRUE, referencing is not necessary in academic writing as most of the writing is opinion pieces and sources do not need to be consulted. Thus, it is not important if you change the language or not.
