Question

question 1 of 10
what is one difference between a paraphrase and a quotation?

a. a quotation needs to cite the original source, but a paraphrase
does not need to cite the source.

b. a quotation uses the original authors words, but a paraphrase
uses the essay writers words.

c. a quotation may occur at any point in the essay, but a paraphrase
should only occur in the conclusion.

d. a quotation comes from a printed source, but a paraphrase is
based on an internet source.

Explanation:

Paraphrasing restates an original source's ideas using the writer's own words, while quoting directly uses the original author's exact words, enclosed in quotation marks. Both require source citation, can appear anywhere in a text, and can draw from any type of source, so only option B is a valid difference.

Answer:

B. A quotation uses the original author's words, but a paraphrase uses the essay writer's words.
