You know that quotes and facts from many sources help strengthen your argument. To use

a quote, you must set it off in quotation marks and then cite the source. One very common
type of plagiarism happens when a writer fails to put the quotation marks around quotations
or to cite them properly. This could mean copying a sentence or whole paragraph from a
book or online article and putting it into your paper without setting it off from the rest of
the text. It could also mean using quotation marks but not saying where the quote came
from. When you don't put a sentence in quotation marks or include a citation, you are
telling the reader that the sentence is yours. To avoid this type of plagiarism, make sure that
any quote includes quotation marks and is cited properly. Citations often appear in
parentheses after a quotation.
Which of the following sentences includes a properly formatted quote and citation?
A The framers said they wrote it to improve the union.
B
The framer said they wrote it in order to "form a more perfect union."
с
The framers of the Constitution wrote it in order to form a more perfect union
(US Constitution, preamble).
The framers of the Constitution said they wrote it in order to "form a more
perfect union" (US Constitution, preamble).
