Question

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
Quotations in a persuasive essay should be __________________ .

• A. very short
• B. from famous people
• C. from reliable sources
• D. in single inverted commas

Answer 1

The correct option is C from reliable sources

Quotations in a persuasive essay should be from authentic and well-grounded sources or from sources which can be trusted. Option C, therefore, is the correct answer.

Whereas option A does not matter as the size of the quotation does not define its relevance or authenticity, Option B is not necessary as it may not provide the authenticity, Option D is not valid as quotations are written in double inverted commas.
