Which describes how the direct quotation is improperly cited?
The sentence is not correctly punctuated.
It does not credit the source in the sentence.
The thought is incorrectly paraphrased.
It is a summary and does not need to be cited

Answer 1

The sentence does not credit the source in the sentence.

The direct quotation is improperly cited because it does not credit the source in the sentence. When using a direct quotation, it is important to provide a proper citation that includes the author or the source from which the information is derived. This allows readers to easily identify the source and verify the information if needed.
