Answer:

A; an exact copy of the author's words

Explanation:

<u>Concepts:</u>

  • A quotation is a collection of words taken from a text or speech and stated again by someone other than the original author/speaker. You must put quotation marks (") around the text that you've copied from the original person to express quotations.
  • Example: "To live without Hope is to Cease to live." - Fyodor Dostoevsky, Russian Novelist

<u>Solution:</u>

Let's go through each definition in the answer choices and see which one best fits with our definition of a quote.

A; An exact copy of the author's words: A is correct because in our definition, it states that a quotation is a bunch of words taken from the original author/speaker that's repeated again. Quotations are exact copies from what the genuine author/speaker said.

B; a shorter version of the author's words: B is incorrect because a shorter version of the author's words isn't necessarily copying everything they said, word by word, and putting quotation marks around. Let's take this for example: "The soul is healed by being with children." - Fyodor Dostoevsky. If I were to remove some parts of it, let's say I'd end up with this: "The soul is healed" - Fyodor Dostoevsky. As you can see, it's not an exact copy from what the original author said, so B cannot be correct.

C; a summary of the author's words: C is incorrect, because as it explicitly said, it's a summary of what the author/speaker stated. A summary is a set of statements for the main points of an article, speech, book, etc. You could write a summary about Crime and Punishment (novel) and include some quotations in there, but majority of it will be written by yourself, not the author.

D; a translation of the author's words: D is incorrect because that's known as literal translation. Literal translation occurs when there's a part of the text being translated word by word without looking at how they're used as a phrase, sentence, etc.

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

5. Change the sentences below using must, can’t and might\may, whichever is correct.

For example: perhaps he was tired.

                      He may have been tired.

a) I am sure he isn’t from Cyprus.

b) Perhaps he was reading.

c) Perhaps Devkota wrote that poem.

d) Obviously, she passed the entrance.

Answer:

a) He can't be from Cyprus.

b) He might have been reading.

c) Devkota may have written that poem.

d) She must have passed the exam.

Explanation:

The options are the following:

must - indicates an obligation or a conclusion we reach with a high degree of certainty. For instance: James is never late. Something must have happened, otherwise he would have arrived already.

can’t - indicates lack of skill to do something or impossibility of something happening. For example: She can't have taken the bus. She had no money with her.

might\may - indicate some degree of probability and possibility, but not a high one. For instance: I might call you tomorrow, but I'm not sure. / He may have forgotten about the meeting. Let's give him a call.

Having the explanation above in mind, we can answer:

a) He can't be from Cyprus.

b) He might have been reading.

c) Devkota may have written that poem.

d) She must have passed the exam.
