Dr. W. Wharton explains, “Zeus was the king of the gods, ruler of sky, weather, law, and fate.”

A direct quotation is exactly what someone said. A direct quotation must be written character for character, so any misspellings or grammatical errors must be included. Also, direct quotations need to begin and end with quotation marks so that it is clear where the person's original words begin and end. Without these quotation marks and a citation clarifying where the direct quotation originated, the user of the quotation is plagiarizing.

Is the passage of dialogue written correctly or incorrectly? "Did you see any dolphins at the aquarium in Baltimore?" Sam asked.

vova2212 [387]

It is "B", written incorrectly, because Brett said "They were beautiful." But after that it said "replied Brett." It should not have the period after "They were beautiful" but instead a comma. This would be how it would look if correct: "They were beautiful," replied Brett. "But I wasn't close enough to take good pictures." I hope you understand.
