Answer:

True.

Explanation:

An author provides a variety of information through different sources in his/her work not only to substantiate or establish the credibility of his/her claim but also to propose a clear and effective understanding to the readers. This variety of information may include facts, quotations, statistics, etc. which could have been taken from a book, a journal, newspaper article, etc.

Citation is one of the crucial elements of literary writing not only to avoid plagiarism but also to validate the authenticity and originality of the work.

As per the question, the given assertion would be categorized as true as the information sharing common knowledge or general facts need not be cited due to the availability of such information in a number of sources. <u>For example; 'Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers of the English language in general and drama in particular' which is commonly known by almost everyone and can be found in various sources.</u> Thus, it is suggested that such information is not required to be cited. Therefore, the statement would be<u> true.</u>
