Question

question 6 of 10
what does the overuse of direct quotations often reflect in your work?
a. your ability to make connections
b. the credibility of your best research
c. the voice and style of someone else
d. your own personal style and purpose

Explanation:

Direct quotations are the exact words of another person. Overusing them means the work will predominantly show the voice (way of expressing) and style (writing or speaking style) of that other person, rather than the author's own. Option A is incorrect as making connections is about synthesis, not over - quoting. Option B is wrong because over - quoting doesn't reflect the credibility of one's own research. Option D is incorrect as over - quoting uses others' words, not one's own personal style.

Answer:

C. The voice and style of someone else
