Which of the following is an example of an indirect quotation?

Polly said, “My favorite ring has three diamonds.”
Polly said, her “favorite” ring has three diamonds.
Polly said, “Her favorite ring has three diamonds.”
Polly said that her favorite ring has three diamonds.

Answer:

Polly said that her favorite ring has three diamonds.

Explanation:

An indirect quotation does not have quotation marks, but still explains what another person has said.

The indirect quotation example is 'Polly said that her favorite ring has three diamonds.' Indirect quotations paraphrase someone's words rather than quoting them exactly and integrate them into the narrative without quotation marks.

An indirect quotation is a restatement of someone's words or ideas without using their exact language. Indirect quotations, also called paraphrasing, typically do not require quotation marks and are integrated into the natural flow of writing. In the given examples, the indirect quotation is 'Polly said that her favorite ring has three diamonds.' In this sentence, the speaker's exact words are not used; instead, the idea is conveyed by rephrasing it.

Distinguishing between direct and indirect quotations is crucial in writing to maintain clarity and avoid plagiarism. A direct quotation requires precise replication of the source's words, usually enclosed in quotation marks, while an indirect quotation paraphrases the statement without altering the original meaning. Signal phrases such as 'Polly said that' are often used to introduce indirect quotes, seamlessly blending them with the author's narrative.

Dear Journal: I think that Armenia is like no other place on the planet. It is located between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Armenia is like the connection point between these very different cultural worlds, and it absorbs a little from each of them. The result is a land with many kinds of ideas and lifestyles.

Although I was born and raised in the United States, I am now in Armenia visiting my Aunt Peprone and Uncle Agatan. I know that the words “America” and “Armenia” look a lot alike, but the countries themselves are different in many ways. Every day I’m surprised by the little unexpected lessons I learn about life in Armenia.

Why did the author write this passage?
A) to address his friends in America
B) to record his personal experiences
C) to persuade people to visit Armenia

Read the excerpt below from the poem "Ulysses" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and answer the question that follows.

Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all; but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
