Cited answer
A cited answer is a reply that links straight back to the exact spot it came from, like a page number or a video timestamp, so you can open the source and check it yourself instead of just taking the answer on faith.
When you study, a wrong fact you trusted can cost you in the exam. A cited answer fixes that. It shows you where the claim lives in your material, so you can read the original line and decide if the answer really matches it.
Under the hood it is simple. Each answer carries a pointer back to its source: page 14 of your lecture, minute 7 of the video, that one slide. You click it, you land on the real thing, you confirm.
The common mistake is treating any confident answer as a cited one. Confidence is not proof. If there is no link to a real source you can open, it is just a guess in a nice voice.
Maria asks what her professor said about supply shocks. The answer points to page 22 of her lecture PDF. She clicks, reads the actual paragraph, and sees it lines up. Now she trusts it for the exam.
