Paraphrase the following passage and include an in-text citation (either parenthetical or non-parenthetical) using the information following the passage:
“Today, hundreds of studies have been published documenting memory distortion induced by exposure to misinformation. In these studies, not only have people recalled stop signs as yield signs but they have also recalled nonexistent broken glass and tape recorders, a blue vehicle used in a crime scene as white, Minnie Mouse when they really saw Mickey Mouse, and, most recently, wounded animals (that were not there) near the scene of a tragic terrorist bombing that actually had occurred in Russia a few years earlier. Taken together, these studies show that misinformation can change an individual’s recollection in predictable, and sometimes very powerful, ways.”

“While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper engineering so far, it's unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the world's tallest building. The question is: Just how high can a building go? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building.”

Passage: “Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head”.

4. Paraphrase the following passage:
“Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes while reading for class, and as a result, they overuse quotations in their final research papers. In psychology, using direct quotes in a research paper should be used sparingly, if at all. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes.”
