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 are you 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:

Correcting errors in the quote

Explanation:

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

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

Debora [2.8K]

Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to conclude that neither twin could die because they were immortal gods. The excerpt tells us that none of brothers died, and also it points out that they are the creators that once stepped on separate paths. They are still alive, but not in the sense that we are used to think. Each one has its duty and now they both look at the world from different sides.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Your answer would be A.

Explanation:

You should change suns' to sun's. You should use the apostrophe to show possession. In order to show possession with a singular noun, you should add an apostrophe plus the letter -s. As you know, the sentence is referring to the sun, the star of our galaxy. Considering that the noun is singular (sun), the possession should be shown by adding the apostrophe and the letter -s to the noun (see 1).

1) The sun's energy heats the Earth's surface
