I am extremely bored at this point in time. I would like to do something exciting and adventurous.
<span>A) Here is what my mother said to me, at least once: "Jerry, you've got to try a little harder."
Since the quotation from his mother is set off from the rest of the sentence, not continuing it, a colon is appropriate. Additionally, the comma before "at least once" is correct and after "Jerry" is also correct. </span>
Answer:
I believe you are quoting or paraphrasing.
Explanation:
To quote something someone said or wrote is quoting. But if you're saying what someone else said or wrote using different words than you're paraphrasing.
Hope this helped.
