Questions using attribution
Problem 1
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
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.
