paragraph 1
(1) throughout history, civilizations have used insects as weapons. \the greeks, romans, tanzanians, and mayans bombarded their enemies with bees and wasps. the iraqis hurled clay pots filled with scorpions at opposing forces.\ in some central asian countries, prisoners were thrown into pits full of blood - thirsty assassin bugs. \each and every one of these insects was chosen as a weapon because of its painful bite or sting.\ but there exists an even deadlier use for bug warfare: \the spread of disease.\* and what could be a more perfect tool than the flea? it is tiny, plentiful, and almost impossible to get rid of.
all quotations from: stewart, 2011, 23.
source: stewart, amy. wicked bugs: the louse that conquered napoleons army & other diabolical insects. algonquin books of chapel hill, 2011, p. 23.
what is the issue with the outside source used in paragraph 1?
lukas relies on a long quotation to express his viewpoint.
lukas uses a blanket citation to cover multiple uses of one source.
lukas relies on irrelevant source material.

Explanation:

In academic writing, when multiple quotes from the same source are used, each quote should typically have its own in - text citation (not just a single blanket citation at the end). Here, Lukas has multiple quotes from Stewart (2011) and only provides one citation at the end of the paragraph. This is against proper citation practices.

Answer:

Lukas uses a blanket citation to cover multiple uses of one source.
