Question

Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave” by Neil MacGregor.

Answer 1

“The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands:shimaguni konjo.”

Normally, when you want to directly quote an external source, as you may know, you will want to have quotation marks at the beginning and ending of the quotation.  However, this is not always the case.  When a quotation is  40 words or longer, the quotation marks should not be used and the quotation should be formatted in block style instead of using quotation marks.  Because the second paragraph follows a colon after a lead-in/introductory statement, it is understood that the entire second paragraph is a quotation.  As such, because the following quotation comes from the second paragraph, it is an example of a direct quotation:  “The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands:shimaguni konjo.”
