question 10 of 15
in which of the following situations would paraphrasing be better than using a direct quotation?
○ when the content gives personal opinions
○ when the meaning of the statement is violated
○ when the content cannot communicate the meaning
○ when a quotation has complicated or complex terminology

Explanation:

Paraphrasing is better than direct quotation when the original content has complex or complicated terminology (like jargon or technical terms) because paraphrasing can simplify the language while retaining the meaning, making it more accessible. The other options: giving personal opinions is not related to paraphrasing vs quotation choice; "meaning violated" is unclear in context; "content cannot communicate meaning" is not a standard reason for paraphrasing over quotation.

Answer:

when a quotation has complicated or complex terminology
