Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Putting someone else’s idea into your own words does not turn it into your own work. You must give the original author credit even when you paraphrase. Paraphrasing well shows that you understand the meaning of the original passage. To directly quote means to use the exact words and phrases of an author or creator.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is a direct quotation? A direct quotation reproduces word-for-word material taken directly from another author’s work, or from your own previously published work. If the quotation is fewer than 40 words, incorporate it into your paragraph and enclose it in double quotation marks.
