Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Option A: Correctly uses quotation marks around the entire direct quote as it appears in the original source.
  • Option B: Omits quotation marks, so it is not a proper incorporation of a direct quotation.
  • Option C: Only quotes part of the original statement, which is incorrect for a direct quotation.
  • Option D: Alters the original wording ("costs associated with death penalty verdicts" vs. "death penalty verdicts cost"), so it is not an accurate direct quotation.

Answer:

A. According to Lizbeth Conner of Abolishment Now, "the costs associated with death penalty verdicts are three times higher than those associated with a sentence of life without parole."
