Selected Essays
When quoting a passage in a formal essay, can you write “the selected quote above explains.”?
There is nothing technically wrong with that approach that I’m aware of, but stylistically, you are better off not dropping a whole passage into your essay. Instead, use specific quoted phrases or sentences to support your points. Not only are they easier to work into your sentences, but they make your arguments clearer. Only use long passages where including them in their entirety helps you make a point about their overall qualities that a snippet doesn’t capture. Otherwise, it might seem you’re trying to pad your essay’s length. Good luck!
