Explanation:

Analyze Question 7

The prompt asks what can dilute the writer's voice and remove attention from the writer's point. Overusing direct quotes, especially long ones, overshadows the author's own analysis and voice. Therefore, "lengthy and frequent quotations" is the correct choice.

Analyze Question 8

The prompt asks when it is not appropriate to rely on a direct quote. Direct quotes should be used selectively (e.g., for vivid eyewitness accounts, precise statistics, or analyzing a specific author's phrasing). Using a quote simply to artificially inflate the word count of a paper is poor academic practice and inappropriate.
