anonymous · Answer

Answer: B. They're always used in pairs.

A is wrong because quotation marks are not meant to emphasize words.
C is wrong because  paraphrasing is just rewording a set of facts or opinions. There aren't any quotation marks needed.
D is wrong because quotation marks are not used to set off titles of books or any other material that is lengthy. They should be used only for short works, such as a magazine article.
