When is a direct quote most appropriately used?

To add a unique voice to writing
To introduce a source
To provide facts or evidence
To make claims

The correct answer is: To provide facts or evidence

A direct quote is most appropriately used when providing facts or evidence to support a statement. A) Using a direct quote to add a unique voice to writing is incorrect because direct quotes are meant to be the original words of another source, not your own. B) Using a direct quote to introduce a source is also incorrect because there are other ways to introduce a source, such as paraphrasing or summarizing. D) Using a direct quote to make claims is incorrect because direct quotes should not be used as a substitute for one's own analysis and interpretation. It is important to use direct quotes sparingly and only when it is necessary and adds value to the writing.
