Any visitor can see the big cats pacing unhappily back and forth, day after day, and the apes prowling hopelessly in search of something interesting to climb. This is unacceptable. Which answer is the best way to format a direct quotation from this passage? Wilson points out that the apes prowl hopelessly and it is unacceptable. (1). Wilson states that anyone can see the big cats pacing unhappily. (1) Wilson states that anyone "can see the big cats pacing unhappily" (1).
