Question

which sentence correctly integrates a direct quotation from the excerpt? \despite the turmoil, chief john ross reminds the national council that means for our deliverance may yet be found (2).\ in his words to the national council, chief john ross tells them not to lose hope, saying, \means for our deliverance may yet be found\ (2). he optimistically reminds the national council that \means for our deliverance may yet to be found.\ chief john ross reassures the national council, telling them that means for their \deliverance\ may yet be found (2).

Explanation:

When integrating a direct - quote, the quote should be in quotation marks and the citation (in this case, (2)) should be placed correctly. The first option has the quote at the beginning which is incorrect formatting for integration. The third option has incorrect punctuation with the period inside the quotation marks when it should be outside for MLA - style citation. The fourth option has incorrect capitalization and punctuation within the quote. The second option correctly places the quote within the sentence, uses proper punctuation, and has the citation in the right place.

Answer:

In his words to the National Council, Chief John Ross tells them not to lose hope, saying, "Means for our deliverance may yet be found" (2).
