Answer:

The type of edit to direct quotes which is inappropriate is the following one:

Correcting errors in the quote.

Explanation:

If it is a direct quote, it is supposed to be as genuine as possible, that is, the essence of what was said by that particular person must be kept, and that includes not only what was said, but also how it was said- errors and all.

Eg: Let's say you want to quote Joker (played by Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight") and you write:

As said by Joker: "Why <u>are you</u> so serious?"

In the example above, the essence of the original quote was lost, since the omission of verb and subject (Why so serious?) was what gave the classic quote its mysterious charm. So, it is best to keep it the way it actually is:

As said by Joker: "Why so serious?"

Answer:

<u>Correcting errors in the quote</u>

Explanation:

<u>Correcting errors</u> in a direct quote is an <u>inappropriate</u> way of editing due to the direct quote may belong to an <u>external source</u>, which is often comes from an expert on a particular field.  

If one edits a <u>direct quote</u>, it is no longer a professional reference, and it can even be considered plagiarism.

Answer:

Types of Figurative Language used: Imagery, onomatopoeia, personification, simile

What I think my summer will be like might be really fun. What I hope and plan to do will be to hang out with friends and enjoy the warm, soft breeze as we hang out together during the bright, sunny day and possibly during the quiet, starry nights. What I would also want to do is play video games with friends while I listen to the soft click-clacking of the controller's joysticks and buttons. I would also love to stay inside for a few days and enjoy some time alone while I sketch or paint, and watch as my pencil or paintbrush dance along the canvas, creating a beautiful scenery. I'd also like to go to the movies with friends or family and take in the smell of freshly popped popcorn and eat my favorite candies and snacks as we watch the movie while whispering as quietly as mice. I'd like to go to the park with some friends and family and celebrate each other's birthdays and play around together while we wait for cake. At the end of each week, I would want to lay back on my bed and watch my favorite animes and catch up on mangas that I left alone while I was so busy with school. Another thing I would want to do as well would be to go see relatives that live a little far and spend a day or two with them as we enjoy our time together and have fun. There's many other things I would love to do, but I think I'll take it one day at a time.

I hope this helped~!
