Question

you are writing a paper, and you want to use the main conclusion of an article to help support your argument. the article is very lengthy, and the details of how the author arrived at the conclusion are not important for your purpose. which of the following ways of incorporating the information in your essay would be the most effective?

○ summarizing

○ quoting

○ paraphrasing

○ blocking

Explanation:

Summarizing condenses a lengthy work to its core points (here, the main conclusion) without including supporting details, which matches the need to only use the article's conclusion for the argument. Quoting uses exact text (unnecessary here as details don't matter), paraphrasing rephrases a section but may still include more context, and "blocking" is not a standard academic text incorporation method.

Answer:

summarizing
