The correct answer is parentheses.

When you are quoting somebody's words, first you are going to use the quotation marks ("), then cite the quotation, write a period, and close the quotation with the marks again. In order to avoid plagiarism, you have to cite your sources. This means that you need to use the parentheses, where you are going to write where you took that citation from.

For example:

<em>What characterizes romantic poetry is the "spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings" (Wordsworth 263).</em>

As you can see, the source (Wordsworth) is written in the parentheses, along with the page number.

Can someone write a speech about gym being their favorite subject and why :)

Answer:

Regular exercise and physical activity promotes strong muscles and bones. It improves respiratory, cardiovascular health, and overall health. Staying active can also help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and reduce your risk for some cancers.

There are numerous reasons people join a gym. For some of us, it's about packing on muscle to improve strength. Other members may be looking for a more natural energy boost than caffeine. And some simply want to treat their body with respect

Exercise helps you extend your life - that's a fact. It cuts your cancer risk in two, reduces the chances of heart disease, strokes, Type 2 diabetes and lowers risk of an early death by up to 30%.

The gym gives me the chance to move in all kinds of different ways, which is awesome. And most importantly, it all makes me feel good. It's even – dare I say it – kind of fun. It's fun to move in new ways
