This item is a fill-in-the-blank passage question, but the provided data includes no answer options to analyze. Therefore, we can’t evaluate choices as correct or incorrect in the typical sense. Instead, I’ll walk through the structure of the passage and what kinds of words would naturally fill the blanks to produce a coherent, academically styled paragraph about citation.

- Observing the pattern: The text begins with a general claim about citing sources and immediately narrows to a specific domain: “Within the acad[Fill in the blank], community,” which strongly suggests the missing word is “academic” or a closely related modifier (e.g., “academic” as an adjective). The goal is to describe citation’s role within scholarly discourse.
- Early blanks likely seek nouns that pair with “acad[Fill in the blank]” and with phrases like “evid[Fill in the blank]” and “auth[Fill in the blank]” to form standard academic collocations:
  - acad[Fill in the blank] → academic
  - evid[Fill in the blank] → evidence or evidence-based, depending on the intended syntax
  - auth[Fill in the blank] → authorship or author’s (possessive form) or authorial
  - be[Fill in the blank] → become or benefit or best (context-dependent); more likely “be” is following a truncation of a longer word like “because” or “be” is part of a larger word cut off, but in a clean fill-in, “author’s” or “authorship” would be a natural continuation after “evid[Fill in the blank]”
- The sequence “in the literature, it gives auth[Fill in the blank], to the author’s vi[Fill in the blank], and research metho[Fill in the blank]” suggests the missing blanks form a parallel series describing what citations provide: evidence of the author’s work, the author’s view, and research methods. Possible fillings include:
  - auth[Fill in the blank] → authorship or authorial position or authorships (plural) depending on subject-verb agreement
  - vi[Fill in the blank] → viewpoint, view, or perspective; “view” or “viewpoint” are common in academic prose
  - metho[Fill in the blank] → methods or methodology; typical collocations are “research methods” or “research methodology”
- The phrase “it locates the aut[Fill in the blank], within a particular theor[Fill in the blank], context” would most plausibly read as:
  - aut[Fill in the blank] → author or authorial location or authority, but most likely “author” or “authors’” depending on grammar
  - theor[Fill in the blank] → theory or theoretical framework; common pairs include “theory” or “theoretical”
- The later fragment “it clari[Fill in the blank], on whose work the aut[Fill in the blank], is building” strongly points to filling with verbs like clarify and author’s/authorial, yielding a phrase such as “it clarifies on whose work the author’s is building”—more idiomatically, we’d expect variants like “it clarifies on whose work the author’s is building” or, more cleanly, “it clarifies whose work the author is building upon.” The intended meaning is that citations identify the intellectual lineage of the current author.
- Finally, the closing segment “it can be used as evid[Fill in the blank], to argue an acad[Fill in the blank], writer’s findings, id[Fill in the blank], and propos[Fill in the blank],” suggests:
  - evid[Fill in the blank] → evidence
  - acad[Fill in the blank] → academic or academia; with the –ics, “academic,” is more natural
  - id[Fill in the blank] → idea or identity or idea(s); in context, “ideas” is common
  - propos[Fill in the blank] → propositions or propositions
- The sentence also includes “And, of course, it is vie[Fill in the blank], very poo[Fill in the blank], indeed when an academic pres[Fill in the blank], as their own find[Fill in the blank], ideas or propos[Fill in the blank], of others.” This hints at evaluative adjectives that critique the practice as “viewed as very poor” or “viewed critically,” and a missing clause about plagiarism where an academic presents others’ ideas as their own. Plausible fillings include:
  - vie[Fill in the blank] → viewed or views
  - poo[Fill in the blank] → poor or poorly; a common paired adjective would be “very poor” or “poorly”
  - pres[Fill in the blank] → presenter, presentation, or possession; in context likely “presenter” or “presenting”
  - find[Fill in the blank] → findings
  - propos[Fill in the blank] → propositions or propositions

Because the item provides no answer options, we cannot evaluate which specific fills the scoring rubric expects. In a typical fill-in-the-blank assessment, the correct set of completions would produce a coherent, academically styled paragraph about the role of citation in scholarly work, including how citations establish evidentiary support, identify the author’s position and viewpoint, situate the author within a theoretical tradition, clarify the intellectual lineage, indicate the sources the author builds upon, and serve as evidence in support of arguments—while also warning against presenting others’ ideas as one’s own.

If you can provide the intended answer choices (the list of possible fills for each blank, or the single expected completion set), I can analyze each option and explain which is correct and why, with detailed reasoning for why the alternatives are unsuitable. In the meantime, the analysis above outlines how typical academic sentence completions would function at each blank and why those particular words would be chosen to yield a coherent paragraph about citation in academic writing.
