Which type of punctuation signals the reader that the information is a direct quotation?
brackets
quotation marks
parentheses
ellipses

In order to allow the reader identify a direct quotation, you have to write the direct quote (authentic words) between double quotation marks. Besides, it is important to capitalize the first word in a quotation. Commans, periods and question or exclamation marks are also placed inside the quotation marks.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
