I confused primary and so, lets talk with real sample as follows:
This the sentence from a paper which I want to cite:
Paper A
However, more fires then broke out over a wide area, and they were late in
fighting them1
As seen at has given reference to reference number 1 (I name this paper,
paper B)
Now in my paper I want to use above sentence from paper A, but actually the
sentence is from paper B.
Shall I cite papre A as my reference or papre B?
Also I need to show the evidence to my professor. Is there any site to show
to my professor. My professor is not used t this ng and I am not sue if he
accepts it. sorry for inconvinience.

I'll second Jezebel's recommendation. This is the standard academic
practice: do not ever cite a primary source unless you have actually
consulted it yourself. Otherwise, cite the secondary source. Aside from the
possibility that the citation in the secondary source may not be correct, it
is academically dishonest to imply that you have consulted references that
you have in fact not seen.

Cite the original source directly if you've checked it. If not, say where
you got the quotation from (it might be inaccurate) ...

non-word Q ab referencing in a paper
this is not a WORD question, but maybe some colleagues give some input.
In my paper, I am referencing some sentences from other authors (for
which
I
am using endnote command of Wrod). However some of these sentences in
the
orginal paper were referenced to another papers. Is it necessary for me
to
included those double-referenced papers as well or just the last paper
is
enough?
