This is essentially language change at work. Do you know how Shakespeare sometimes sounds "weird" to us? that's because English has changed since then.

Language change is not abrupt, but gradual, and while the change takes place sometimes two forms are used: so while it is likely that in years to come only dreamed will be correct, and in the past only "dreamt", currently the change is not complete and both are correct.

When doing your research on a topic, including research on a work of literature, you can cite from
daser333 [38]

Answer:

C) a blog site

Explanation:

When making citations based on research, there are some sources that can be cited but cannot be included in the Works Cited such as:

  • an interview that you conducted with the source.
  • an email message
  • a classroom lecture

The reasons are because they do not provide any valid means of recovering or verifying the information since most or all of them are personal communication that was spoken through word of mouth.

However, a blog site can be cited and included in Works Cited.
