Answer:
<h2>To find a quotation, first look for the work that is cited, then there are usually quotation marks around a quote, and that is your quotation. </h2>
Explanation:
I like to think of this method that was taught to me called "RACER"
<em>Restate </em>
<em>Answer </em>
<em>Cite & Quote </em>
<em>Explain </em>
<em>Restate. </em>
I won't go too in dept with the entire method, as it is pretty self explanatory, but we're going to look at A and C.
<h2>
Lets say that someone wrote this: </h2>
<em>You can find on page 144 of the textbook “History Of The United States, Florida Edition” reasons why the colonists broke away from Britain (Page 144 is a part of the list of grievances in the “Declaration of Independence.”) Page 144 says the following, “He refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good, he has forbidden his governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he had utterly neglected to attend them.” To elaborate, that means that King George refused to approve or agree with laws that would be necessary for the public and their welfare.The reason we broke away from Great Britain was because we didn’t want a tyrannical government.</em>
To find the quotation, you can see that I immedietly cite the source that I am using. In this case, the citation is "Page 144 of the History of the United States textbook, specifically the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence." Then I immedietly follow that with quotation marks, and my quote, followed by a (lengthy) explanation that I had cut out.
<h2>I hope that answers you question, if it doesn't, I'm sorry. </h2>
A small tip: When elaborting don't repeat what the quote said (don't reword it!!) The way I personally elabrate is that I apply the quote to my real life, and make it seem more personanable. Give a real world example :)
