Explanation:

Evidence should be paraphrased when:

You want to make a short section of a text clearer for the reader;you want to evade using too many quotations;you want to get a point accross and precise wording is not really relevant;you want to develop the central ideas of a passage;you want to give an account of numerical information or statistics.

On the other hand, evidence should be quoted when:

You want to strengthen your argument through the use of the words of an author;you want to object an assertion from an author;you want to emphasize specific expressions or sections that are magniloquent or powerful;you want to make a comparison between different points of view or contrapose them;you want to make notice of the significant research you have consulted before elaborating your own.
