[ANSWER FOR BRAINLEST]
If you wished to write an essay which used the ideas of a researcher who published a book, which of these would be the best course of action to avoid committing plagiarism?

A) Summarize the author's ideas, and give credit where due.
B) Avoid discussing the author's ideas.
C) Quote the author directly, but don't tell where the quote came from.
D) Discuss the author's ideas, but phrase them differently while refraining from mentioning the author by name.

A) Summarize the author's ideas, give credit where due.

Explanation:

When writing an essay it's important that you give credit to the author of your cited source, for example (Timothy, 20). If you don't its considered plagiarism since you copied it directly but didn't announce that you did.

You could- B) Avoid discussing the author's ideas. But that wouldn't get you any information.

You could- C) Quote the author directly, but don't tell where the quote came from. But you'd be stealing information aka plagiarism.

You could- D) Discuss the author's ideas, but phrase them differently while refraining from mentioning the author by name. But your pretty much repeating what they said, which is still plagiarism considering your teacher may or may not ask for the source and look through it.

A allows you to summarize the author's ideas and when due, cite your evidence if directly quoting.

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

i believe the answer is inference
