Question

What does the reader assume if the quote is not contained within quotation marks?

-That the idea is straight out of the head of the person writing the paper

-That the person writing the paper forgot the quotation marks

-That the quotation is a direct quote

-That the quotation is an indirect quote

Answer 1

the last one-That the quotation is an indirect quote

Answer 2
