Solution

You should cite a source:

a) Not only when you use a direct quote from the author. Paraphrasing or summarizing someone else's work also requires citation.

b) Yes, whenever you use any information from that source. This includes facts, statistics, ideas, theories, or any other kind of information that is not common knowledge.

c) Not only when someone adds the "citation needed" tag to your assignment. You should always cite your sources, regardless of whether someone else points out that a citation is needed.

d) Not just when you find one that supports what you want to say. You should also cite sources that contradict your argument, as this shows that you have considered different perspectives.
