Answer:

It's direct quotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that the quotation marks were removed, and it's asking what it would be if the quotation marks were in, and the question says that orville said something after the statement made. so it was a direct quotation.

(Sorry if that didn't make sense I didn't really know how to explain it, also I got it right on my assignment.)
