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.

A redundancy is when you say something two times in the same sentence, using different words that express the same, form example in the sentence, it says that Emily´s sister gave birht to two twins, when you are saying that she gave birth to twins you already know that there were two of them, you don´t need to say two twins, that´s a redundancy.
