All of the following would require citation formatting in a research paper except a. a direct copy of a sentence from text b. a sentence paraphrased from an article c. a date chart or table from informational text d. a thesis statement composed from personal views

The correct answer is D. A thesis statement composed from personal views

Explanation:

Citation formatting refers to the elements of a citation should be organized and presented in papers, including research papers, in this way, if the author is using the work of someone else it is necessary to acknowledge certain ideas or words do not belong to the author and also, it is required to inform the reader where do that ideas come from. Due to this citation formatting implies writing the last name of the author and year of publication of the resource from which the person is taking ideas or words during in-text citation and creating a list of reference with further information of the sources that were used. Considering citation formatting is used when someone uses the ideas or words of another person, a thesis statement composed from personal views does not need citation formatting because this only uses the personal views, but not the ideas, works or words of someone else.

compare & contrast informative essay/speech

when speaking or writing for the sole purpose of providing information in order to give audience members a good basis for making a decision, you would present an informative speech or essay.   because you wouldn’t want to be persuading the audience by arguing for one type of exercise over the other, you wouldn’t choose a persuasive/argumentative technique.   to fairly, and without bias, present information about the pros and cons of each type exercise, a compare/contrast, informative speech/essay would be the best bet.

different strategies reach different people based on their ability to understand the material. (from personal experience) when writing an argumentative essay write explaining the subject as though your audience never heard of it before and it is just being introduced, then explain why other people hate it also, afterward you would explain why that would be wrong. i hope that : )
