Which is not a purpose for quoting research in your argument? (5 points)

to give examples of perspectives on the issue
to focus attention on a perspective or particular piece of evidence
to highlight a very powerful phrase or excerpt by quoting the original author
to make it clear that a counterclaim represents your own thoughts and perspective

The correct answer is:

To make it clear that a counterclaim represents your own thoughts and perspective.

Explanation:

When writing an article or an essay, we include quoting research to support an argument and to provide correct sources of information that the audience can look up to backup the evidence the writer is presenting. Quoting is used to give examples, to focus attention o a perspective or a particular piece of evidence and to highlight a powerful phrase made by the original author. Quoting is a good technique to provide credibility and authority on a subject, and to present key concepts, but a well written article must have more original information than quotes, as well as the point of view of the writer to make it original.
