concludes with these words:

For the students in this study, the factors that most influenced their progress are the
extent to which they are able to balance the conflicting demands of their lives, the

These factors are more important for their progress than whether or not they were born

23 You are writing an essay and want to use a quotation to show that all students meet A
challenges when they begin studying at university or college. Which would be the best
way to use a quotation from the extract below (using the APA citation style)?
The extract below is from page 60 of an article by Diane Becket published in 2005:

Although the native and non-native speakers share the same high school background,
their attitudes, which have been affected by these experiences, are different. Memories
from Indian schools influence the non-native speakers' attitude to American high
schools, and they feel a pressure to
succeed because of the efforts of their parents to give them a better life in the United
States. The native speakers feel no such pressures, but they struggle with negative
memories of high school. Both groups of students are, however, working in their own
ways to adjust to the demands of college life.

A. According to Becket (2005), “memories from Indian schools influence the non native
speakers' attitude to American high schools, and they feel a pressure to succeed
because of the efforts of their parents to give them a better life in the United States”
(p. 60).
B. According to Becket (2005), “the native speakers feel no such pressures” (p. 60).
C. According to Becket (2005), both native and non-native students need “to adjust to
the demands of college life” (p. 60).

same high school background, their attitudes, which have been affected by these
experiences, are different” (p. 60).
