Which sentence explains why a writer would decide to include a direct quote in an essay?

The writer wants to strengthen his or her argument with an expert opinion.

The writer doesn't adeguately understand the topic he or she is writing about.

All good informational writing should include at least one quotation from an expert.

Most writers aren't experts and therefore need to provide facts from an expert.
