Question: "2 First, citing sources is simply the right thing to do. This is because one is giving credit where credit is due. When we use others' words, images, or ideas found online or in print, we need to show that we are borrowing something from these creators. Otherwise, we are dishonestly taking the work of others and trying to pass it off as our own. After all, when someone asks our permission to use an item we own, we often give permission. On the other hand, if a person simply takes something of ours without asking, we understand how that act is profoundly different from sharing. It is a kind of theft. 3 This idea is generally understood when it comes to writing. Each time we use something from another writer, we need to properly cite the ideas we take. By giving credit in this way, we are acknowledging our debt by the most efficient means possible. (We cannot feasibly ask permission from most of the writers whose ideas we cite.) Another benefit of citing sources is that it helps writers avoid plagiarism. This is the act of presenting someone else's work as one's own." Which detail from paragraphs 2 and 3 best supports the key idea that neglecting to cite sources is wrong? A.It is difficult to ask permission from most writers whose ideas we use. B.Citing sources is the proper thing to do because it credits others for their ideas. C.It is dishonest to take the work of others and try to pass it off as our own. D.Citing sources is a common practice when using something from another writer.
