Question

1. margot has lots of great quotes from an interview she did with a scientist. as she starts to write her speech, which of these is true? she should use as many of them as possible. she should use only the longest quotes. she should use them sparingly to clarify a point. she should edit the statements down but still treat them like direct quotations.

Explanation:

When writing a speech, using quotes should be purposeful. Using too many quotes (first option) or only long ones (second option) is not effective. Editing quotes and treating them as direct quotations (fourth option) is incorrect as edited quotes would be paraphrased, not direct. The correct approach is to use quotes sparingly to clarify a point, so the third option is true.

Answer:

She should use them sparingly to clarify a point.
