Question

I had a rough weekend when my cousin Orian stayed with us. He is the most negative person I've ever met. Every time I made a suggestion about something we could do, he told me five reasons why it wouldn't be fun. How exhausting! When he left this morning, it was a huge relief. As Oscar Wilde, the famous playwright, says, "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." I've never known anyone this applies to more than Orian! How can you tell that this paragraph uses a quotation? Check all that apply. It tells an interesting story. It talks about a specific person. It uses quotation marks. It gives the name of the speaker. It includes what Orian says.

Answer 1

The answers are "It uses quotation marks." and "It gives the name of the speaker."

Answer 2

Answer:

• It uses quotation marks
• It gives the name of the speaker

Explanation:

A quotation is the repetition of one expression as part of another, particularly when the expression quoted is well known or explicitly attributed by citation to its original source, and is indicated by quotation marks and quoting the name of the author.

In this text, the quotation happens in: " As Oscar Wilde, the famous playwright, says, "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.""
