Integrate & Cite Evidence in Your Writing — Practice · Grade 7 English

Chapter: Research & Explanatory Writing

What this practice covers

By the end of Integrate & Cite Evidence in Your Writing you should be able to:

10 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.

Vocabulary used: attribution, locator, evidence, qualification, revision.

Problem 1

Explain attribution in the assigned reading, distinguishing it from a related idea.
Answer and explanation

Identification of the source of words, information, or ideas. Integration joins a source detail with your own purpose and reasoning. Introduce the source accurately, use a short quotation or paraphrase, and explain its relevance. Dropping a quotation between unrelated sentences does not create a supported paragraph.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 2

Revise the sentence with attribution, accurate meaning, and a limit.
Answer and explanation

Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 3

Evaluate this claim: “A citation makes an unsupported inference valid.” Explain a correction in context.
Answer and explanation

This claim is misleading. Use supplied source labels and real locations. These fictional anthology records have no published page numbers, so cite Source C or Source D and the provided paragraph when appropriate. Do not invent a date, author, publisher, or page to make a citation look complete. Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 4

Should a writer invent a page number because every citation looks more formal with one?
Answer and explanation

No. Use the available source letter, paragraph, or chapter locator. A fabricated reference prevents rather than enables verification.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 5

Develop an independent response: Revise the sentence with attribution, accurate meaning, and a limit. Locate two useful details or choices, and explain one limit or alternative.
Answer and explanation

Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 6

Answer this transfer question: Should a writer invent a page number because every citation looks more formal with one? Test your answer against a second detail or a fresh sentence, explaining whether it needs qualification.
Answer and explanation

No. Use the available source letter, paragraph, or chapter locator. A fabricated reference prevents rather than enables verification.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 7

Explain attribution in your own words and give an example from the assigned reading or a fresh sentence.
Answer and explanation

Identification of the source of words, information, or ideas. The unit case offers this example to examine: Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation. Identify the wording or choice that fits the term. A different accurate example is acceptable.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 8

Explain locator in your own words and give an example from the assigned reading or a fresh sentence.
Answer and explanation

A paragraph, line, chapter, or other available label that helps a reader find evidence. The unit case offers this example to examine: Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation. Identify the wording or choice that fits the term. A different accurate example is acceptable.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 9

Correct the misleading statement “A citation makes an unsupported inference valid.” and explain a detail that makes your correction necessary.
Answer and explanation

Integration joins a source detail with your own purpose and reasoning. Introduce the source accurately, use a short quotation or paraphrase, and explain its relevance. Dropping a quotation between unrelated sentences does not create a supported paragraph. Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.

Problem 10

Correct the misleading statement “Missing page numbers should be invented for a formal appearance.” and explain a detail that makes your correction necessary.
Answer and explanation

Synthesise sources by comparing their contributions to a question. The budget supplies an estimate; the letter identifies an access concern. One does not cancel the other. Explain why a plan may meet a listed budget while still requiring a scheduling revision. Source C estimates 300 tokens for the listed six-week trial costs, exactly matching the stated allowance. This supports feasibility only under those estimates; it does not measure every access need or unlisted cost. The revision identifies the source and explains why its budget cannot prove universal participation.

Use the model to discuss reasoning after an independent attempt. A different accurate supported response can be correct; written work needs human marking.
