Must use proper grammar, mechanics and spelling in your response, you have to make use of proper in-text citations and an end-reference “ NO Plagiarism” . Remember to use in work citations ie: (Author, 2018) and provide the full citation in APA format at the end of the response for each question where you cited information from the reference.
