The correct answer is: “According to Nazario, "a vast majority of child migrants are fleeing not poverty, but violence" (3).”. This is the sentence that correctly cites the words that Kimi wants to quote in her analytical essay, since it presents the name of the author outside the quote and then mentions the number of the page the quote is in. The rest of the options are wrong because of different reasons. For instance, in the second option the sentence presents the name of the author within the quote, which is a mistake. In the third sentence, the author and the number of the page are mentioned without proper punctuation (a coma between the two items). In the fourth sentence, the author is mentioned twice and not the number of the page.

A quotation is used when we wish to directly repeat the words of a previous author. The sentence that correctly quotes an excerpt from a book by Nazario is;

  • According to Nazario, "a vast majority of child migrants are fleeing not poverty, but violence" (3).

In quoting an author, it is vital to include a leading statement that introduces the author.

Next, the statement that was made by him or her is included and then, the page where the statement was made is inserted in parentheses.

The option that correctly meets these rules is the first option.

Therefore, option A is a right quotation of Nazario's statement.
