Read the source passage (1) below and then determine if it is being quoted, summarized, or paraphrased in the second passage (2):

1) Computers play a positive role in education. One important benefit of computers in education is that students can do Internet research for all subjects and types of assignments. Never before has so much information been available at the click of a mouse. Computers are also useful for doing schoolwork and preparing assignments. Word processing programs help with writing, especially when students learn to take advantage of grammar- and spell-checking devices. Another benefit is that students have 24-hour access to library materials and can complete assignments at any time or from any location with computer access. Finally, parents and students can track many school matters such as daily assignments, test schedules, grades, attendance, announcements, and communications with teachers. Computers have changed education forever (Smith 22).

(2) Computers give students many advantages. They include using the Internet for research, using word processing programs for homework and writing, having anytime-anywhere access for doing work, and keeping up with school progress and activities (Smith 22).

A. The source passage is being quoted.
B. The source passage is being summarized.
C. The source passage is being paraphrased.
D. None of the above.

Answer 18

The answer is B. Since when you qoute, you are just repeating the same thing being said. When you paraphrase, you are just restating the same thing. but when you summarize, you are actually condensing the whole idea into a simpler one. so, its a summary

Answer 19

Ohhhhh okay (: Thanks!! Next one...

(2) Computers give students many advantages. The Internet is a necessity for conducting research for all courses and all kinds of schoolwork. Word processing software is a useful tool for homework and other writing assignments such as essays. When students need to do work, they are not confined to a specific location because computers can be used anywhere and at anytime. Before computers, parents and students usually had to be at school to get necessary information, but now they can use computers to keep up with progress and talk to teachers. Computers are a welcome change (Smith 22).

(1)Computers play a positive role in education. One important benefit of computers in education is that students can do Internet research for all subjects and types of assignments. Never before has so much information been available at the click of a mouse. Computers are also useful for doing schoolwork and preparing assignments.

(2) Computers give students many advantages. They include using the Internet for research, using word processing programs for homework and writing, having anytime-anywhere access for doing work, and keeping up with school progress and activities. Most kids just use the computer to play video games, though, so it is debatable whether computers actually play a positive role in education (Smith 22).
