Answer:

A) when a writer wants to share the key ideas expressed in a source text

Step-by-step explanation:

A paraphrase is used to show the meanings of different words in such a way to make the original text easier to understand.

Therefore, a paraphrase is more appropriate to use than a quote when a writer wants to share the key ideas expressed in a source text.
