Answer:
A passage from a novel
Explanation:
An excerpt represents not just a quote but a complete passage from a book. It can be a few lines taken from a poem or a novel.
Mostly excerpts are used for complete understanding of a piece of writing. It is easier to critically evaluate a piece of writing when it is broken down into excerpts and then expanded on. It enhances the understanding of the reader.
For example teachers might give a single paragraph to their students and ask them to expand on them and judge their understanding through it.

I can't think of four things but I was always taught to always cite everything. Even if you think something is an original idea or phrase, look it up and make sure and if someone else has said that just put it in your work cited because that could be considered plagiarism. Also always cite direct quotes
