Question

Instead of always using a quote as your evidence for either an explanatory essay or an argumentative essay, is there a different strategy for evidence instead of always using a quote?

Answer 1

Instead of just placing the quote as evidence you could try embedding the quotes in the sentences this will change the way it’s read and also makes it easier to explain the quote and the authors intent if the evidence is already in the sentence.

Answer 2

you can use data, statistics, etc.
