What is the purpose of citing sources?

To give credit to the work of other authors
To show the amount of evidence included in the text
To display the research methods used in the text
To provide a reference for further study

The correct answer is: To give credit to the work of other authors

Citing sources serves the purpose of giving credit to the work of other authors, acknowledging their contributions and avoiding plagiarism. It is also important for providing evidence and support to your own arguments and claims. Options B and C may be relevant to the overall purpose of citing sources, but they are not the main reason for citing sources. Option D is incorrect because citing sources is not solely for providing references for further study, but it is an additional benefit.
