Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave" by Neil MacGregor. The Japanologist Donald Keene, from Columbia University, see

s the wave as a metaphor for the changes in Japanese society: The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo. Shimaguni is ‘island nations’ konjo is ‘character’. The idea is they are surrounded by water and, unlike the British Isles, which were in sight of the continent, are far away. The uniqueness of Japan is often brought up as a great virtue. A new change of interest in the world, breaking down the classical barriers, begins to emerge. I think the interest in waves suggests the allure of going elsewhere, the possibility of finding new treasures outside Japan, and some Japanese at this time secretly wrote accounts of why Japan should have colonies in different parts of the world in order to augment their own riches. The Great Wave, like the other images in the series, was printed in at least 5,000 impressions, possibly as many as 8,000, and we know that in 1842 the price of a single sheet was officially fixed at 16 mon, the equivalent of a double helping of noodles. This was cheap, popular art; but when printed in such quantities, to exquisite technical standards, it could be highly profitable. Which line is a direct quotation from an external source

Answer:

"The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo."

Explanation:

External sources refer to information placed in a text that was taken from another text, or that was approached by another author, or another professional, that is, information created outside the work presented, but that is relevant to the same .

A direct quote, on the other hand, is one in which the author of one text shows exactly what the author of another text has said about a particular subject.

In the text above, we can see a direct quote from an external source on the line: "The Japanese have a word for insular which is literally the mental state of the people living on islands: shimaguni konjo." These are the words used by the Japanese scientist Donald Keene and which are relevant to the text presented.
