Ms. Sue · Answer

No. You can insert an ellipsis to represent the omitted material. For example: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation . . . dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Correct! When you want to remove words and phrases from borrowed material that you are directly quoting, you can use brackets to indicate that the information in the quote has been altered. This helps to maintain the integrity of the original quote while allowing you to omit certain parts. So, option D is the correct answer.
