The question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which option can be used to fill up the blank to make it meaningfully complete.
The professor urged students to ________ their sources using a recognized citation style.

Correct option is A

The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) cite.
“To cite” means to reference sources formally in a standardized style—exactly what the professor is urging. (Hindi: संदर्भ देना/उद्धरण देना).
Example: You must cite journal articles in APA format in the bibliography.
Explain why other options are incorrect.
· quote: to reproduce exact words (Hindi: शाब्दिक उद्धरण देना); related but not the act of formatting references.
· proscribe: to forbid/ban (Hindi: प्रतिबंधित करना); unrelated.
· recite: to repeat aloud from memory (Hindi: कंठस्थ सुनाना); not about references.
· facilitate: to make easier (Hindi: सुगम बनाना); too general and not the required action.
