Question 4

To quote a source correctly in a research paper, one must use the exact words (direct quote), enclose them in quotation marks, and provide a citation (to give credit to the original author and allow readers to find the source). The first option is incorrect because even with the author's name, quotation marks are needed for exact words. The third option is incomplete as it lacks the citation. The fourth option describes paraphrasing (changing words while keeping the meaning) with a citation, not quoting.

Direct quotes are used when the original wording is so powerful, memorable, or uniquely phrased that paraphrasing would lose its impact or meaning. Providing background information, rewriting the main idea in your own words (paraphrasing), and summarizing the entire source are situations where paraphrasing or summarizing is more appropriate, not direct quoting.

Answer:

B. Copy the words exactly, place them in quotation marks, and provide a citation.
