Question

Which is the best reason to use a direct quote in your research paper?
A: To give a large number of statistics
B: To show someone's distinct voice
C: To express something in your own words
D: To demonstrate the source's credibility

Answer 1

B To show someone's distinct voice.

Answer 2

Answer:

B: To show someone's distinct voice

Explanation:

A direct quote uses the words of someone other than the researcher. This allows for a distinct voice. A direct quote doesn't always contain statistics. A direct quote also does not give any information about the source's credibility.
