Read the introduction to Talya’s speech, which she is preparing to present to her class.When I was younger, I deeply enjoyed attending Tae Kwon Do classes, so I decided to study how learning martial arts affects children. I posed the question: How do children benefit from studying a martial art such as Tae Kwon Do in elementary school? I found that studying martial arts can be useful to young children in many ways. According to one source, “Tae Kwon Do helps children learn discipline and develop a strong work ethic.” In addition, martial arts help children stay active and healthy. How can Talya improve her introduction?
Answer
A
by removing the reference to herself
B
by properly citing her source
C
by adding her research question
D
by deleting the quotation marks
Explanation
Talya includes a direct quotation from a source, so she should identify or cite that source to show where the information came from. The quotation marks are appropriate because she is using the source’s exact words. She already includes her research question, and mentioning her personal interest can help introduce the topic.
