What does TLQ stand for in the context of embedding evidence in writing?

Transition, lead-in, quote. Transition, lead-in, quotient. Time, lead-in, quote. Transition, line, quote.

Correct Answer:

Transition, lead-in, quote.

Explanation:

TLQ stands for Transition, lead-in, quote. When you embed evidence, use a transition to connect the point you’re making to the source, showing how the evidence supports your argument. A lead-in provides context—who is speaking, where the quote comes from, and why it matters—so readers understand the relevance. Then you present the actual quote itself, integrated smoothly with proper punctuation. This pattern keeps your writing clear and cohesive, guiding the reader from your idea to the evidence and back to your analysis. Terms like time or quotient don’t describe this embedding technique, so TLQ is the standard way to remember the process.
