Answer 2

C. Replacing words from the source material with a thesaurus while keeping the original structure

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine your arguments with supporting evidence. You should prepare your sources ahead of time and keep them organized as you write, so that they flow together naturally, even within individual paragraphs. You should be able to see connections between your own ideas and those of your sources, and between the ideas of your sources and your own throughout your work.
