What are the differences between a summary, a direct quote, and a paraphrase? Provide an example of all three - a summary, a direct quote, and a paraphrase.

The difference between  a summary, a direct quote, and a paraphrase is that Summary is the concise statement in which we state the main points of author's work.Summary involves simple language which state the clear meaning of author's work in our own words. A direct quote is exactly using the work like passage then quote them into our own paper. Paraphrasing is a method in which we write the work of author into our own words by making significant changes in wording and structure. We keep the idea or meaning intact in paraphrasing but write in our own words.

example-

Direct quote-"Strategic planning is a critical business practice for positioning an organization for success, aligning leaders to a common plan, and guiding management decisions."(Juan Riboldi,2019)

Paraphrase-

Strategic planning is one of the main business activity in which helps leaders to take effective decisions and lead to success.

Summary-

Organizations always adopt strategic planning because it creates a base on which their mission, vision and goals depend. Strategic planning helps leaders to make effective decisions and plans so that they can make thier business successful.
