Question

Study the quote to answer the question:

"The tracking of online activity is not just a privacy issue," claims activist Hughes, "But an economic and political minefield."

What is wrong with the format of this quote? (5 points)


a. It is missing one set of quotation marks.

b. The word "But" should not be capitalized.

c. It is missing an internal citation for the source of the quote.

d. The comma after "issue" should appear after the quotation mark.

Answer 1

B the word but should not be capitalized.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

B. The word "But" sould not be capitalized.

Considering that the original text quoted is "The tracking of online activity is not just a privacy issue but an economic and political minefield," there is no need to introduce a capital letter in but because it is not the beginning of a new sentence.

In that version of the quote, this original sentence was interrupted by a comment that is properly puctuated.
