Answer 1

Its C. I did it on my test and got it right. :)

Answer 2

The statement which is true for communicating about others’ viewpoints is the following one:

C. The text and author should be introduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to validate that particular viewpoint, it is necessary to show its author and its source. Otherwise, what is said becomes either vague or plagiarism: it is like saying "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" without pointing out that its author is Nietzsche and that it is from the book "Beyond Good and Evil". In other words, if the text and author are introduced, that point of view gains legitimacy and credibility and so does the person quoting it.
