Which type of punctuation signals the reader of the source information for a direct quotation?

English
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Read the excerpt about the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II. Which two descriptions tell what type of source it is?
olga2289 [7]

The correct answers are A. Primary source and E. Diary entry

Explanation:

In general terms, sources can be classified as primary if they are first-account of an event, which means they were written during the event or shortly after it by someone who experienced or witness the event or as secondary sources if they summarize or analyze a primary source. This means in the source presented in which someone describes the way he or she experienced the bombing of Pearl Harbor this source can be classified as a Primary Source.

On the other hand, sources can be classified according to the type of source they are which includes recordings, photographs, articles, diary entry, etc. In the case of diary entry, these are personal texts people write about their experiences, feelings, and thoughts and because of this they are usually written using the pronoun "I", this is also the case of the source presented as the Pearl Habor attack is being described using "I" and including the perceptions, feelings, and actions of its author. Therefore, the two descriptions that fit with this source are primary source and diary entry.
