Step-by-step explanation:
To correctly add punctuation to the sentence provided, one might write it as follows: "Ellington was quoted as saying, 'Playing ‘bop’ is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing.'" This revised sentence includes proper quotation marks to indicate direct speech.
Using direct quotes correctly requires attention to detail. When you alter a quotation to fit into your sentence, it is important to indicate the changes you made. An ellipsis [...] suggests that words have been omitted from a quote. If a quote is inserted into your text and you need to modify it for clarity or to fit the grammatical structure of your sentence, use brackets [] to show your additions or changes. Ensure that such alterations do not distort the meaning of the original statement.
