Final answer:
The passage that cites Abramson as an indirect source is option d) "Cognitive vulnerability... (Abramson, as cited in Devine)" because it indicates the student obtained Abramson's information through Devine's work instead of directly from Abramson's original work.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking which passage indicates that Abramson is an indirect source. The correct answer to this question is option d) "Cognitive vulnerability... (Abramson, as cited in Devine)".
This citation style indicates that the information originally came from Abramson, but the student encountered this information in the work by Devine. It is an example of how to cite a secondary source, meaning that the student did not directly engage with Abramson's original work, but is rather referring to Abramson's ideas as presented by another author. In academic writing, it is important to distinguish between what one has read firsthand (a primary source) and what one has learned through another source (a secondary source).
