Question

academic integrity assessment
which is not a reason why you should cite sources in your schoolwork?
it demonstrates the moral principles i follow as an ethical learner.
it allows me to show appreciation to the authors of the sources.
it shows the thorough and careful work i do with the sources.
it makes my schoolwork look better with a higher word count.

Explanation:

Citing sources serves ethical, appreciative, and academic rigor purposes, not artificially inflating word count. The first three options align with core academic integrity goals of citation, while the last one is an invalid, non-scholarly reason.

Answer:

It makes my schoolwork look better with a higher word count.
