Question

How can you tell that this paragraph uses a quotation?

Answer 1

Answer:

It uses quotation marks and it gives the name of the speaker.

Explanation:

Quotations are always written with the speaker's name who has said that statement or from where the particular quotation has been taken. Oscar Wilde's quotation "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go" is used here by Orian to substantiate her point and present it more clearly and effectively that her cousin was the most negative person. It is always written with the quotation marks to differentiate it and with the author's name.

 

Answer 2

Answer:

Third and four options are correct.

Explanation:

According to the Cambridge dictionary, quotation could be defined as "a phrase or short piece of writing taken from a longer work of literature, poetry, etc. or what someone else has said". Option number three mentions that quotation marks should be included. The intention is to indicate when the other person/speaker's words begin and end. The name is also given when quoting, but it also depends on the kind of text: if it is an academic paper, some other information must be included (such as the source and year of publication) but if the quotation is found in a literary piece, it is most likely that just the name or the last name of the other speaker would appear.
