Which is an example of a direct quotation?

1. according to my research, zeus was instrumental in starting and ending the entire trojan war.

2. greek scholars agree that zeus frequently changed form so that he could influence others.

3. dr. w. wharton explains, “zeus was the king of the gods, ruler of sky, weather, law, and fate.”

4. artists usually portray zeus as a strong man with a dark beard, a lightning bolt, and scepter.

Option 3.  Dr. W. Wharton explains, “Zeus was the king of the gods, ruler of sky, weather, law, and fate.”

Explanation: This is a direct quotation because it takes a piece of text from another article and directly places it into your text. All direct quotations should have quotation marks (""), as they signal where another person's words begin and end.

Hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any more questions. :)

your blank of voice often reflects your feelings emotion and thoughts

“way of writing” should be replaced with “writing style"

“idea” should be replaced with “purpose.”

maybe   “people from a long time ago” should be replaced with “elizabethans.”
