A alternativa correta é a letra "a) I.". As citações diretas são trechos escritos por outros autores e são utilizadas na íntegra, palavra por palavra, pelo estudante.

The correct option is:

e) None of the above.

The statements provided do not accurately describe the concepts of direct and indirect quotations in the context of intertextuality in academic texts. Here are the correct explanations:

I. Direct quotations are passages written by other authors that are reproduced word for word within quotation marks. This allows the reader to see the exact wording used by the original author.

II. Indirect quotations, also known as paraphrasing, involve expressing the ideas of another author in your own words. It's not about introducing new ideas but rather rephrasing existing ones while retaining the original meaning. This is often used to explain, clarify, or simplify complex ideas from the original source.

III. Indirect quotations (paraphrased content) do not require quotation marks, as the ideas are presented in the author's own words. However, proper citation is still necessary to give credit to the original source.

So, the statements provided in options I, II, and III are not accurate descriptions of these concepts.
