Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Which kind of embedded quotation-is introduced with a complete sentence AND-includes a full sentence quotation, starting with a capital letter?

A	Flow
B	Dialogue
C	Colon
D	Cow Poop

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -When to use a COLON: If you use a complete sentence to introduce a quotation, place a colon (not a comma) after the sentence and before the quote.

Detailed explanation-2: -Quotations from your sources should fit smoothly into your own sentences. This is called embedding or integrating quotations.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is an easy rule to remember: if you use a complete sentence to introduce a quotation, you need a colon after the sentence. Be careful not to confuse a colon (:) with a semicolon (; ). Using a comma in this situation will most likely create a comma splice, one of the serious sentence-boundary errors.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three strategies you can use to embed quotations: set off quotations, build in quotations, or introduce quotations with a colon. Set-off quotations are set off from the sentence with a comma. Capitalize the first word of the quote. Notice the signal phrases (in bold print) used in the following examples.
