Answer 1

Any information you derive from an external source of information - quotes, paraphrases, data, statistics, images, etc.- should be cited within the text of your paper, not just on your List of References (Works Cited) page. These are called in-text citations, or parenthetical references.

A direct quotation is one in which you copy an author's words directly from the text and use that exact wording in your essay

'Helping verbs' work with the main verb to give the reader a better idea of when the action takes place.

Welcome to The Museum of Teaching and Learning (MOTAL)

or Motal, 52°19′N 25°36′E, was in the Kobryn Uezd (district) of Grodno Gubernia (province) until the collapse of the Russian empire in 1917. Between WWI and WWII it was in the Drohiczyn district of the Polish Gubernia of Polesia. It is near the center of Polish Polesia which constituted an irregular rectangle of roughly 110 miles from east to west and 50 miles from north to south

If two adjectives modify a noun in the same way, place a comma between the two adjectives. These are called coordinate adjectives

When adjectives jointly build up the description of the noun and need to be arranged in a particular order, they are known as Cumulative Adjectives

Restrictive element--a word, phrase, or clause that limits the essential meaning of the sentence element it modifies or provides necessary identifying information about it. The restrictive element is not set off from the element that it modifies with commas, dashes, or parentheses.

Nonrestrictive element--a word, phrase, or clause that gives additional information about the preceding part of the sentence but does not restrict or limit the meaning of that part. A nonrestrictive element is not essential to the sentence; it can be deleted without changing the sentence's basic meaning. As an indication that it is not essential, it is always set off from the rest of the sentence with a comma before it and, if it is in the middle of the sentence, after it as well.



hope these help i can't help u on the last one

Answer 2

in text citation - an abrieviated citation within the body of a paper

direct quotation - a pragraph or sentence taken word-for-word verbatim from a particular source

helping verb - a verb that comes before another verb so that the sentence makes sense

motal and the others - *sorry, idk* try thefreedrictionary.com

confessional tone - a certain feeling or tone in which a story is written which portrays the author begging for mercy as well as confessing harmful information.

do a live.com search for "cumulative adjective" (include quotes) and the rest of them and im sure you will find good web sites with their meanings.

Answer 3

In text citation-When you consult sources for your paper, you must mention references to those sources in the body of your paper. http://www.csulb.edu/web/colleges/colled/ece/APAshort.htm
A direct quotation is a clear quotation said by a person and generally involves a whole sentence; it is absolutely verbatim in the order and is specific.

It is also a rate in domestic currency to express the exchange rate.
