Explanation:

To determine the correct sentence, we analyze each option:

1. Option 1: "The 1961 version of Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book includes a wide range of recipes intended to encourage cooks to both perfect old favorites and try out new flavors in their kitchens." This sentence effectively incorporates the source material (the cookbook's description of being a complete guide with various dishes) by summarizing the content about the recipe range and purpose, while rephrasing it appropriately.
2. Option 2: "In Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book (1961), Betty Crocker announces, “Here is a cook book that is charming, practical, and fun to use.” She goes on to say, “It is a complete cooking guide that includes the tried - and - true and the new - as - tomorrow,” and then continues, “the simple and the sophisticated, foreign - inspired foods and old - fashioned American dishes” (p.1)." This is a direct quote and not a paraphrase that incorporates the source material in a summarized way as required.
3. Option 3: "Betty Crocker states that, “charming, practical, and fun to use” cookbooks must have a mix of American and international dishes in order to be complete (p.1)." This misinterprets the source material. The original is about the cookbook's content, not a general statement about what cookbooks must have.
4. Option 4: "Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book (1961), includes many recipes." This is a very vague and incomplete summary of the source material.

Answer:

The 1961 version of Betty Crocker’s New Picture Cook Book includes a wide range of recipes intended to encourage cooks to both perfect old favorites and try out new flavors in their kitchens.
