Step-by-step explanation:

A reader should be able to tell by looking at a quotation whether or not any changes have been made by the writer. Brackets tell the reader that the wording has been altered for clarity. The three-dot ellipsis tells the reader that words have been left out. The correct sentence is the only one that places a sentence directly taken from the passage within quotation marks. Also, keep in mind that a sentence quoting a book should include the last name of the author of the book and the page number of the book where the information can be found.
