What is a direct quotation?

English
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
5 0
A direct quotation are the exact words of someone else written into your writing. Pretty much let's say you take a quote from Obama. He says, in exact words "<span>The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on." This is a direct quotation, as no words have been changed and it's exactly what he says.</span>

Choose the sentence with a properly punctuated and capitalized direct quotation.
mihalych1998 [28]
"Are you sure you left it on the table?" asked Roberto. is the only correctly punctuated sentence here.

the first sentence requires a COMMA inside the quotations, rather than a period. "Judy said" is attached to the quote, because the quote is judy's words. you keep them together, rather than making them two separate sentences.

the third sentence is missing a comma as well. "oh no," sarah said... is the correct way to write it, with a comma after "no."

the fourth sentence is wrong for several reasons. your end punctuation goes inside your parentheses, and this sentence put the exclamation point after. "She laughed" additionally requires a period to end the sentence, stating that she laughed, then offering her dialogue. alternatively, you could place a comma after "laughed" and accept that for the verb leading into the quote.

Answer:

Some goals of the progressives are that child labor is very disgraceful. They would go to any extent to free kids who were slaved in labor. They tried there best and did everything they could. But sadly not all kids were saved.

The main objectives of the Progressive movement were addressing problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. Social reformers were primarily middle-class citizens who targeted political machines and their bosses.
