Explanation:

This is the sentence that correctly incorporates the direct quotation in the paper. When you want to use a quotation in a paper, there are two main ways to do so. You can transcribe the quotation word by word. In that case, the quotation needs to be placed between quotation marks. On the other hand, if you do not want to use quotation marks, you can paraphrase the quotation, which means that you would rewrite the same idea using your own words. In both cases, you need to give credit to the source of the quote.
