When quoting a source in an essay, what should be used?

ellipses
parentheses
quotation marks
brackets

The correct answer is: quotation marks

When quoting a source in an essay, it is important to use quotation marks to indicate that the words are directly from the source and not your own. Ellipses, parentheses, and brackets all have different uses and would not accurately convey the intention of quoting a source. Ellipses are used to indicate omitted words, parentheses are used to enclose supplemental information, and brackets are used for editorial clarifications. Therefore, these options are incorrect for quoting a source in an essay.
