Which is an example of a direct quotation?

according to my research, zeus was instrumental in starting and ending the entire trojan war.
greek scholars agree that zeus frequently changed form so that he could influence others.
dr. w. wharton explains, “zeus was the king of the gods, ruler of sky, weather, law, and fate.”
artists usually portray zeus as a strong man with a dark beard, a lightning bolt, and scepter.

Dr. W. Wharton explains, “Zeus was the king of the gods, ruler of sky, weather, law, and fate.”

A direct quotation is exactly what someone said. A direct quotation must be written character for character, so any misspellings or grammatical errors must be included. Also, direct quotations need to begin and end with quotation marks so that it is clear where the person's original words begin and end. Without these quotation marks and a citation clarifying where the direct quotation originated, the user of the quotation is plagiarizing.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
