question 20 of 20
which sentence properly introduces a quoted source?

a. mathewson: \fifty percent of todays high school graduates will attend college for at least one year.\

b. mathewsons research has produced interesting conclusions. \fifteen percent of college applicants are over 40 years old.\

c. \when more than twenty - five percent of college students drop out, a college should take action.\

d. according to mathewson, \ten percent of college students will graduate within four years of beginning college.\

Explanation:

This option uses the phrase "According to Mathewson" to smoothly and properly attribute the quoted information to the source, following standard academic citation/quotation introduction conventions. Option A uses an incorrect colon format for this context, Option B fails to directly connect the quote to the source within the same introductory structure, and Option C provides no source attribution at all.

Answer:

D. According to Mathewson, "Ten percent of college students will graduate within four years of beginning college."
