• The third sentence accurately quotes the words as per the analytical essay that the author wishes to quote.

• Further, it also introduces the author's name outside the quote and then states the number of the page on which the quote is quoted.

• The first option is incorrect as the presence of a number is absurd and is incorrect. Whereas, the sentence in the second alternative introduces the author's name in the quotation, which is an error.

• In the fourth sentence, the author is listed two times and the page number is also missing.
