Answer:

said

Step-by-step explanation:

The most typical verbs for citing sources, for instance, are "said," "stated," and "asked." Use the verbs "reported," "claimed," and "stated" for records or documents. The actual words from the source should be used in direct quotes, which should be enclosed in quotation marks. :))
