To tackle this question, I’ll evaluate what each choice asserts about citing sources in an essay.
Option 1: 'Correct' — This aligns with academic conventions: if you learned about information from a source, even if you didn’t know it beforehand, you should cite that source when you use the information. Citing ensures attribution, avoids plagiarism, and allows readers to locate the original material. It reflects proper scholarly practice.
Option 2: 'Incorrect' — This would claim that you need not cite if you didn’t know it before learning from a source, which contradicts standard citation rules. The act of using information from a source requires acknowledgment, regardless of whether it was previously known or newly learned; omitting a citation would misrepresent the origins of the idea or fact.
In summary, the statement in Option 1 is consistent with guidelines on attribution and avoiding plagiarism, whereas Option 2 would undermine those guidelines by suggesting that citation is unnecessary in this context.
