Answer:

Use an ellipsis when omitting a word, phrase, line, paragraph, or more from a quoted passage. Ellipses save space or remove material that is less relevant. They are useful in getting right to the point without delay or distraction: Full quotation: "Today, after hours of careful thought, we vetoed the bill."

Step-by-step explanation:

Use ellipses to shorten the quote without changing the meaning. For example: "After school I went to her house, which was a few blocks away, and then came home."
