What is the best way to integrate quotes into the text of an essay?

Place quotation marks around the quote
Introduce the quote with a signal phrase
Provide both the author's name and a page number
Include the year the work was published

The correct answer is: Introduce the quote with a signal phrase

Integrating quotes into the text of an essay is a crucial skill for any writer to master. While all of the options listed may be used in some cases, the best way to integrate quotes is by using a signal phrase. A signal phrase is a phrase that introduces the quote and provides context for its usage. This can help to smoothly incorporate the quote into the text and make it clear that the words are not your own. Option A, placing quotation marks around the quote, is necessary no matter which method is used, but on its own it may not provide enough context for the quote's usage. Option C, providing the author's name and page number, can be an effective way to cite sources, but it may be cumbersome to include in every instance of a quote. Option D, including the year of publication, is important for citations, but it may also disrupt the flow of the text
