In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: APA style dictates that you use a block quote based on the number of words. Count the words in your quote to determine if it has more than 40. If so, use a block quote.  On a word processor like Microsoft Word, you can highlight the quote and click “Word Count” under “Review” or “Proofing.” This will tell you how many words are in the quote. For example, if you are quoting a long paragraph from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, you should use a block quote. The signal phrase is a sentence that tells your reader that you are about to cite a quote. Put a comma or a colon at the end of this phrase. There are 3 common ways to introduce a block quote in APA style. You can:  State the author and the year in the text at the beginning of the sentence. For example, you might write, In Morgan’s 2013 study, he stated,  Name only the author in the text at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, you must put the year in parentheses next to the author’s name. For example, Morgan (2013) found that:  Avoid naming the author at the beginning of the sentence. For example, you might say, Some studies disagreed with these findings: Start the quote on a new line. Highlight the quote and press tab once. Alternatively, move the tabs on the ruler above the document over 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). The entire quote must be indented. You do not need to use quotation marks for the quote. If you are citing multiple paragraphs, indent the first line of the quotation by an additional 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm). In APA style, your entire paper should be double-spaced, including your block-quotes. To double-space the quote, highlight the quote. Click on the paragraph formatting button, and choose “double” or “2.0” line spacing. Depending on how you introduced the quote, you may need to put the author, year, and page number of the quote. Separate these by commas, and put a "p." before the page number. Put this citation after the closing punctuation of the last sentence in the quote.  If you named the author and the year in the signal phrase, you only need to include the page number at the end. For example,  In Jones’ 1998 study, he found that:The scent of lavender reduced stress by 20%. Individuals who were exposed had lower heart rates and blood pressure compared to the control group. Lavender also decreased the amount of time it took for subjects to fall asleep in clinical studies. (p. 112)  Jones (1998) found that:The scent of lavender reduced stress by 20%. Individuals who were exposed had lower heart rates and blood pressure compared to the control group. Lavender also decreased the amount of time it took for subjects to fall asleep in clinical studies. (p. 112)    If you did not name the author and the year at the beginning of the sentence, you need to include the author, year, and page number in the parentheses at the end. For example, One study found that:The scent of lavender reduced stress by 20%. Individuals who were exposed had lower heart rates and blood pressure compared to the control group. Lavender also decreased the amount of time it took for subjects to fall asleep in clinical studies. (Jones, 1998, p. 112) Press enter to start a new line. If you want to keep writing in the same paragraph, make the quote flush left by removing the extra indentation. If you are starting a new paragraph, indent the first line of that paragraph by 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm).
Summary: Use block quotes for quotations that are 40 words or longer. Introduce the quote with a signal phrase. Indent the quote 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) from the left margin. Make the quote double-spaced. Put the citation in parentheses at the end of the quote. Return to normal margins once the quote is finished.

If any stubborn stains remain after wiping down the burner coils or grates, use a baking soda scrub to gently remove them. In a small bowl, add 1-2 tablespoons of baking soda. Slowly add drops of water and stir until the mixture reaches a thick paste consistency. Using a soft cloth, sponge, or old, soft-bristled toothbrush, gently apply the baking soda paste to the stains on your burners. For best results, only apply the baking soda paste to burner coils or grates when they are removed from the stove top. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes. Using a clean, wet cloth, wipe the baking soda paste off of the burners. Wipe as thoroughly as possible to make sure that none of the mixture is left behind on the burners. Let the coils or grates dry completely before reattaching them to the stove.

One-sentence summary -- Make a baking soda paste. Apply the paste. Wipe off and dry the burners.

Problem: Article: If you have long hair, pull all of your hair away from your face and secure it with a hair tie. If you have bangs, you may need a headband to hold them back away from your face as well. After you've opened your pores, gently wash your face with your usual facial cleanser. You don’t need to scrub hard, you just want to have a nice clean face to exfoliate. Wash off all the exfoliating paste with warm, not hot, water. Then splash your face with cold water to close your pores. Make sure you’ve removed all of the scrub, otherwise your face will be sticky or grainy from the leftover scrub. If you have oily, tough skin, you may be able to exfoliate daily without any problem. On the other hand, those with sensitive or dry skin should limit at-home exfoliating to 1-2 times per week. If your skin becomes red or irritated, cut back on how much you’re exfoliating and consult your doctor.
Summary:
Pull your hair back. Use the face wash you usually use. Rinse the scrub off of your face with lukewarm water. Time your treatments.
