How do I work critical quotations into my answer?

Critical quotations should be used to strengthen the point or argument you are already making in your paragraph, but instead of simply restating what you are already saying it should add some nuance to your answer. Critical quotations can be built into the middle of your paragraph, instead of simply adding onto the end. Finally, you can also use critical quotations to disagree with the point you are making in your paragraph, to present both sides of the argument or two different interpretations.
