Answer: False

Explanation: Creative commons is when a person uploads their own copyrighted content and gets license for it, so it other people online may add to it or alter it and re-share it. They get to decide how you get to use and what you are allowed to do with but no matter the situation you always have to give credit to the original content creator. Thus, false, you NEED to cite anything used from Creative Commons.

True. It is not necessary to cite information that is common knowledge. One of the ways to judge if something is common knowledge is to ask yourself if anyone in the field would know this information or if no one would argue against it.
