What is the proper way to format a block quote of more than two lines?

  1. Place the quote in italicized text

  2. Double-space the quote and place in quotation marks

  3. Indent the quote and remove the quotation marks

  4. Italicize the quote and indent on each line

The correct answer is: Indent the quote and remove the quotation marks

The proper way to format a block quote of more than two lines is to indent the quote and remove the quotation marks. Option A is incorrect because italicizing the entire block quote can be confusing and difficult to read. Option B is incorrect because double-spacing and quotation marks are not typically used for block quotes. Option D is incorrect because only indenting on each line can also be confusing and visually unappealing. The best way to format a block quote of more than two lines is to indent the quote and remove the quotation marks, as this creates a clear and visually appealing separation between the quote and the rest of the text. It also helps to make the quote stand out and be easily identifiable to the reader.
