Which of the following statements requires a citation?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Choice A, 'The municipal council has approved the operation of food trucks,' requires a citation. This statement likely refers to a specific decision or policy that would need to be verified through a reliable source. Citations are necessary for claims that are not common knowledge or require substantiation to add credibility and allow others to verify the information. Choices B, C, and D are general knowledge or commonly accepted facts that do not require specific citations. When in doubt about whether a statement needs a citation, it is better to err on the side of caution and provide one to maintain academic integrity.
