Writers directly quote text from another source by using quotation marks to indicate that the words are taken verbatim from the original source. They also include an in-text citation with the author's name and the page number of the quote to give credit to the source. Additionally, writers may provide a brief introduction or context before the quote to help the reader understand its relevance. The quoted text is often followed by an analysis or explanation that connects it to the writer's own argument or supports their thesis statement.
