Answer:
Example 1 (Sally's example): evidence should be quoted.
Example 2 (George's example): evidence should be paraphrased.
Example 3 (Addison's example): evidence should be quoted.
Example 4 (Alex's example): evidence should be quoted.
Explanation:
Evidence should be paraphrased when:
- You want to make a short section of a text clearer for the reader;
- you want to evade using too many quotations;
- you want to get a point accross and precise wording is not really relevant;
- you want to develop the central ideas of a passage;
- you want to give an account of numerical information or statistics.
On the other hand, evidence should be quoted when:
- You want to strengthen your argument through the use of the words of an author;
- you want to object an assertion from an author;
- you want to emphasize specific expressions or sections that are magniloquent or powerful;
- you want to make a comparison between different points of view or contrapose them;
- you want to make notice of the significant research you have consulted before elaborating your own.
