Sources must be cited in order toA. paraphrase.
B. provide supporting evidence.
C. summarize information.
D. avoid plagiarism.

Answers

Sources must be cited in order to avoid plagiarism. The answer's D. avoid plagiarism. It is important to cite the sources to give credits to whom/where it is due or else you will be charge of theft. The terms “borrowing” and “copying” the idea you get from books, in the internet, or other source materials might be a disguise to some serious offense. It is a crime to copy or steal someone’s idea or work of others because it is considered as an intellectual property and it is protected by the copyright law. This is what plagiarism is, stealing one’s idea and not citing the sources right.

The correct way to cite a dictionary entry according to MLA style is:

D. "Noon." The Oxford English Dictionary. 2nd ed. 1989. Print.

When citing a dictionary entry, the writer should include the author's name (if available), the entry title, the title of the dictionary (in italics,) the publication and the source (either print or the URL used, if it was accessed online.)

Pay attention: the options provided in the question lack italics. I took the liberty to add the italic font to the correct option.

Significance of"The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God—a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that—and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar and meretricious beauty."

Answer:

Here we see a parallel between Gatsby and Jesus, as Gatsby transforms himself into the ideal that he envisioned for himself (a “Platonic conception of himself”) as a youngster and remains committed to that ideal, despite the obstacles that society presents to the fulfillment of his dream.

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from  F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Some scholars think that Fitzgerald was probably influenced in drawing this parallel by a nineteenth-century book by Ernest Renan entitled The Life of Jesus. In this book Jesus is presented as a figure who essentially decided to make himself the son of God, then brought himself to ruin by refusing to recognize the reality that denied his self-conception.
