I say D. when using an ellipsis, it should first of all be used in the quote. in D it is not used in the quote, but is used before, which is incorrect as far as i know.

An ellipsis is used incorrectly in sentence D, "Abigail confessed that she..."loved the novel by Jane Austen more than the novel by Mark Twain."

An ellipsis (or three dots) is used to delete unimportant information. In sentence D the elipsis is not necessary because the speaker is not eliminating anything from the quote. In options A and C, the ellipsis is at the end, symbolizing that there is more to the quote than what is written. Also, in option B, the speaker is eliminating the first names of the author. While the sentence would be fine without the ellipsis, it is not incorrect.

BRAINLYEST BRANYEST BRAINYEST IF ANSWER IS CORRECT
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer be C.

Samantha is creating an article from the 1700s and 1800s. One source provides information from the 1900s to modern day, therefore doesn't work in this case. So the choice of C doesn't work.
