A short quote pulled from a longer article to highlight a point is called what?
Correct Answer:
Pull Quote
Explanation:
A pull quote is a short excerpt from a longer article that's set apart to emphasize a point. This feature is used to catch a reader's eye and convey a key idea even before reading the full text, which is exactly what the question describes. The other terms don’t fit: a punchline is the humorous ending of a joke, a salutation is a greeting in a letter, and rhetoric means the art of persuasive language, not a highlighted snippet from an article. Pull quotes appear in magazines, newspapers, and online content to draw readers in and summarize a main idea.
