Refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this narrative. which quotation from the "the interlopers" shows the main reason znaeym accepted von gradwitz's offer of friendship? a. “‘how the whole region would stare and gabble if we rode into the market-square together.’” b. “‘and you offered me your von gradwitz, i will be your friend.’” c. “‘i never thought to have wanted to do other than hate you all my life, but i think i have changed my mind about things ’” d. “‘no one living can remember seeing a znaeym and a von gradwitz talking to one another in friendship.’”

The correct answer is B. After the strong wind that leaves them pinned to the giant tree, the two enemies threaten each other. However, after the blow, Ulrich offers Georg a drink from his wine flask, which makes the latter realize how similar they are. As a result, they become friends.

i think it may be b, i'm not exactly too sure on this. but b seems to make more sense.

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
