Question

how should writers adjust grammar in a quote that does not match the grammar of their sentence? do not make grammatical changes to the quote, even if it does not match the rest of your sentence. correct the grammar in the quote and hope no one notices. use brackets to show a grammatical change in the quote, but the meaning stayed the same.

Explanation:

When quoting, to maintain the integrity of the original source while making it fit grammatically into your sentence, brackets are used for minor changes that do not alter the meaning. Making no changes can lead to a grammatically - incorrect sentence, and correcting grammar without indication is unethical as it misrepresents the original.

Answer:

Use brackets to show a grammatical change in the quote, but the meaning stayed the same.
