Explanation:

Citing is a very important issue in the academic world because it is the cure of plagiarism. Just like someone can steal your money, when someone writes an essay and includes ideas that are not his without acknowledging , he is stealing someone's publishing words. As a result this is a crime and it is punishable in universities.

When you acknowledge a source of information you must include, the name of the author, the year of publication, the editorial house, among other elements. Moreover, if you include a quotation, you must include the page number.

OPTION A = it's wrong because even when you state the information in your own words, you should cite the source, because the idea is not yours, even if you write it in your own words.

OPTION B = it's wrong because this is a clear instance of plariagism.

OPTION D = it's wrong because this is not a way of citing information.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
