Question

2. Suneeta is writing a paper and wants to use part of the quotation below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Wrigley Houston states, "Today's teens are so reliant on technology that learning to drive is no longer a high priority. . . . Studies show that over 20% of 16 year olds socialize online more than they do in person."

Explanation:

An ellipsis is used to show the reader that a phrase or a sentence has been taken out of the original quotation. When using an ellipsis to show that a sentence has been omitted, use three periods with a space in between each period in place of the sentence. If the missing sentence comes after a complete sentence, add a space after the period and then use three periods with spaces in between each of them. An ellipsis should have a single space before and after it.

Answer 2

Wrigley Houston states, "Today teens are so reliant on technology that learning to drive is no longer a high priority. Teens are more focused on technology that 20 % of 16 year olds socialize online more than in person."
