question 7 (1.5 points)
read the following passage from alices adventures in wonderland:
there were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.
identify which of the following examples demonstrates quoting.

Explanation:

When you rephrase what the author is saying, that is paraphrasing, not quoting. Quoting is using the author's exact words. If text would lose meaning when paraphrased, quoting is appropriate. Quoting can be used when arguing with an author's idea (to present their view accurately). Sharing a firsthand experience is not related to quoting.

Answer:

You want to rephrase what the author is saying.
